It’s taken science a little while to realise how dangerous car emissions are, especially for children. To help us lower the risk for little lungs, we’re asking for your help to spread the word within your community about making schools idle free zones.

What is Idle Free Schools powered by RAC?

Positive change starts with education! So, we’ve put together a toolkit complete with resources and information to make it easy for you to empower your students so they can tell their school community that air quality matters. Our kit is highly flexible – meaning it can be tailored to the needs and opportunities of every school.
