The Safe School Zones toolkit is designed to help schools make school zones safer, healthier, and more accessible. It provides step-by-step guidance on identifying risks, planning interventions, and implementing effective measures through education, enforcement, engineering, and encouragement. By adopting these strategies, we can protect young lives, ease congestion, and promote walking and cycling as safe, sustainable travel choices.

Just as we prioritise our health, we must also pay attention to our vehicle's health with regular service and maintenance. Make sure that your vehicle has:
-regular oil change
- tire maintenance
-air filter replacement
-fuel system cleaning
-wheel alignment, etc. 
This practice not only guarantees a safe journey home but also helps to decrease fuel consumption. Be sure to mark your next service appointment in your calendar today.

Hundreds of citizens and civil society organisations from across the world gathered at Place des Nations in Geneva, a day before the second part of the final round of negotiations for a Global #PlasticsTreaty starts to demand an ambitious and legally binding treaty that puts people and the planet before polluters. 

Protesters wore yellow , red , and orange  to symbolise the urgency of the crisis and the danger posed by the unchecked production of plastic, which is made using #fossilfuels.
