Fight For Your Right To Clean Air

Volvo have launched a campaign to make people more aware of the dangers that car emissions pose to our health.

Did you know that as many as 50,000 people a year are dying prematurely due to toxic air emissions, linked to fossil fuel combustion? That's more than 20 times the number that die in road accidents in the UK each year! [source: Environmental Audit Select Committee]
The most dangerous of these emissions NOx, Hydrocarbons and Particulates. But together, we'll call them "Nasties". Watch this animation to see the Nasties in action.

I think this is all common sense, that the shit comming from the exhaust pipes aren't doing us or the environment ANY good..

However, the small limited government types, somehow believe it is a conspiracy, in order to have global dominance, and control every single aspect of your lives!

I believe that it is the role of the government to protect one, and ones property from the assault of another. If pollution is not a assault on property, I do not know what is.
