Hi everyone, just a quick reminder that around 2600 deaths every year in Australia are attributed to fine-particle air pollution, mostly from cars.

It's estimated that 1715 deaths were caused by vehicle exhaust emissions in 2015 alone. That was 42% more than the road toll that same year.

Isn't it time we banned petrol cars, and invested instead in walkable neighbourhoods, barrier-separated bike lanes, and good quality public transport?
