An independent billboard campaign protesting against air pollution, which kills 9,000 people prematurely each year in London, has been launched by artists Vasilisa Forbes and Claire Matthews, photographer Terry Paul and a group of volunteers aged 16 to 25. The campaign, called Clean Air Now, has produced a dozen 20 x 12-foot posters which will be displayed for several months on some of the capital’s most heavily polluted streets. Locations will include Bethnal Green, Marble Arch and Kensington. Young Londoners concerned about air pollution from traffic have launched an independent billboard campaign to warn their peers of the dangers of diesel fumes. “People are dying from pollution every day – it’s not just about one or two days here and there,” said Matthews.
