Thought this has some interesting information, particularly about the active campaigning that Mums for Lungs are doing, and the proposal about making London the first vegetarian mega city by 2030 (that is, 51% of menus and people entirely veggie  or vegan). (Makes one wonder about the emphasis on beef in the new UK-Australia trade deal: firstly, it must be worse for the environment importing it from the other side of the globe rather than from our neighbours; secondly, perhaps we will be eating so much less in a few years we'll only need home produced meat? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57478412)I thought a good point was made about recognising both the commonality and differences between theenvironmental and pollution issues?
