The Clean Air Living Matters (CALM) program, a collaboration between Reading Borough Council, Stantec, and Design Nature, has educated over 9,000 pupils across nearly 30 schools on air pollution.
Running for two years, the initiative, supported by the University of Reading, uses interactive workshops and air quality monitors to teach students about pollution’s causes and effects, particularly on vulnerable groups.
Councillor John Ennis underscored the program’s importance, while scientist Marta O’Brien praised its impact on families.
Students conducted indoor and outdoor air checks, fostering awareness and encouraging community action.
The program’s success has sparked interest in replicating it elsewhere, highlighting Reading’s commitment to cleaner air and sustainable living.
