Children are particularly at risk because of their smaller lung capacity.

living streets - walk to school
The Living Streets Walk to School campaign has been flying the flag for walking to school since 1995. It now reaches more than 1.9 million children each year. The Walk to School campaign’s aim is simple: to encourage all parents, children and young people to make walking to school part of their daily routine. Our vision is that every child who can walk to school does so.
