A breath of fresh air

 We now have some of the first data showing that zero-emission vehicles, ZEVs, actually improve people's health by reducing air pollution. You can read my OpEdNews post about this new research here.

A SPOT OF GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS FROM THE UK

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced this week that the UK will ban the sale of all gas- or diesel-burning cars by 2035--5 years earlier than previously planned, and just 15 years from now.

It's a bold goal, but, as critics point out, implementation will require major improvements in the UK's power generation and distribution system, as well as specific rules and regulations to encourage what remains a huge transition.

Still, supporters explain, every step towards this impressive target will provide significant environmental and health benefits.

We need all the good news we can find, environmental or otherwise, so kudos to Boris and the UK.
