But now you have to think about the quality of the air you’re taking inThe post-lunch Christmas walk is a family tradition in many households. You get to walk off one of the biggest meals of the year. The walk along Oxford Street failed to yield anywhere near the same immediate benefits, and there was no long-term gain. For those with chronic cardio respiratory disorders (often elderly people) a walk in these conditions could even make things worse. If, like me, you’re angry that the care-free Christmas walk now requires rerouting, vow to support NGO Clientearth in demanding clean air for all of us in 2018.
