First thank you for taking the time read the article as well as responding.

Nottingham at the moment does not have a no burn day. I do not believe this is a huge contributing factor to the poor air quality. The combination of heavy car use, old factories, and and inefficient buildings are the major contributors.

This is the reason why the article suggested that care sharing would be a viable option to help promote better air quality. This is something that is big in San Francisco, Portland, and here in Great Britain with Glasgow I believe.

The options are limitless, but there needs to be full commitment from the local council.

Is there a “no burn” day there, where controlled agriculture burns and residential fireplace usage are not allowed on certain days? In my ignorance I don’t even know if there is a robust ag sector or if fireplaces are widely used. Just a thought.
