I garden, I read, I love a warm home, and I still want clean air rules. Wood smoke isn't a trade-off, it's PM2.5 that damages lungs and hearts, hitting kids and the elderly hardest. This is public health, not joylessness.
"We live in a city of nearly 10 million people. The air will never be crystal clear and there will always be trade-offs. You take a risk whenever you cross the road, have a pint or sit near the fire. You take a risk simply by living in a city. Life will never be utterly safe, but it has no need to be made so utterly sterile," says @jamesbaxterd, contemplating Sadiq's new war on log burners, despite Brighton having "a worse problem with particulate pollution than any London borough." #CostOfNetZero
