BCP Council is raising awareness of the dangers of air pollution among school children across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole using the power of animation.

The animation, part of BCP Council’s Clean Air Schools project, was created by local animator Rowena Sheehan in collaboration with BCP Council’s sustainable travel team and Sustrans.

The film is designed to educate residents about how air pollution affects young people, particularly the one in 11 children in the UK who have asthma.

Cllr Andy Hadley, Portfolio Holder for Climate Response, Environment and Energy at BCP Council, said: ‘This animation is a fantastic way to help children, and their families understand the impact of air quality and how small changes, like switching off car engines or choosing active travel, can make a big difference. Plus, choosing to walk, wheel or cycle to school can be a brilliant start to the day.’
