Care4Air is a project being run by the 4 South Yorkshire local authorities; Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield.
The aim of the project is to highlight what is happening in the region on air quality issues and focus attention on what can be done to improve air quality. The project also aims to provide individuals, organisations, schools and businesses with the information that will enable them to play their part in reducing air pollution.
Care4Air will promote good practice in all matters relating to reducing air pollution and reward those that are willing to go that extra mile to help protect and improve the regions air quality with the Care4Air Award scheme.
A hospital shuttle bus sevice in Doncaster, set up to help patients and staff travel between Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Mexbrough Montague, was the first initiative to receive such a Care4Air Award.
Further details of the award scheme and the project itself can be found by visiting the Care4Air website which can be found at www.care4air.org . The web site was formally launched by TV personality Bill Oddie on Friday 7th May 2006 at the Showroom Cafe, Paternoster Row, Sheffield.
The Care4Air video stars Bill Oddie and gives everyone some ideas as to how we can make a contribution to keeping the air around us as pollution-free as possible.
