Bristol Bright Night Success!

The AQMRC were very active at the Bristol Bright Night event at @Bristol on Friday. Both Jo and Ben spent the morning explaining air pollution, challenges and solutions to schoolchildren by showing them an enormous laminated map of Bristol City and its air quality management area (which was frequently sat upon and crawled across in the search for homes and schools, by all!) The evening was also exciting, with both Jim and Tim presenting during the Green Hour talks whilst Jo and Ben continued to discuss air pollution issues with those attending (with help from the giant laminated map of course!). A big thank you should also be given to Enda for playing a key role in the event’s organisation and ultimately, it’s success!
