Dave talks to Councillor Mick Warren from Cheshire East, ahead of Clean Air Day on the 17th June.

In this Podcast we talk to Ben Hudson from Global Action Plan to discuss pollution and how localities can take action to reduce it. Global Action Plan are the people behind Clean Air Day, the UK's largest air pollution campaign. They bring people together to inspire each other to go further and exert their voice to ensure policy makers and organisations play their part. To breathe clean air every day we need to make rapid changes: adopting electric vehicles, avoiding millions of car journeys, slashing industrial and construction emissions and stopping buying products that cause pollution in our homes. To see change at this scale requires us to work as a movement, with changemakers across the country modelling that change, and exerting pressure on government and major polluters. Air pollution causes heart and lung disease and results in over 36,000 people in the UK dying each year. Clean air is essential for our health, and the co-benefits of clean air measures are also good for our wellbeing as well as being good for the planet. We will discuss this with Ben Hudson in this webinar and also what action we can take locally and also what action local authorities should also be taking to ensure clean air for everyone. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/globalnet21/message

British Airways' final two Boeing 747 planes departed on their final flight from Heathrow on Thursday. Their retirement was brought forward as the coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc on the aviation sector. The fleet will be replaced with a quieter, more fuel efficient model as BA works towards a zero-carbon emissions target. Plus, the US congress warns the big four tech giants are creating a ‘monopoly’, Clean Air Day sparks new ways for schools to go green and, the Draconid meteor shower is set to light up our skies.

A recent poll by The San Diego Union-Tribune/10News SurveyUSA shows the race for San Diego mayor between Barbara Bry and Todd Gloria is neck and neck but it gives a hint of where voters are leaning on city ballot measures. Plus, Wednesday is Clean Air Day and the recent wildfires and the USS Bonhomme Richard fire gave heightened awareness on the effects of climate change on the air we breathe. Also, much of today’s political discourse lacks civility and an annual conference seeks to bring that back to American civic dialogue. In addition, regardless of who wins in the second district San Diego County Supervisor race, the East County will have a change in leadership for the first time in 28 years. Who will win depends on the candidate’s performance record. And, administrators at an East County nursing home waited eight days before reporting a resident’s sexual assault to police, advocates say the home’s handling of the case put residents at risk. Finally, listen to five songs to discover in October.

LaFern Cusack speaks with Brian Sheridan about California Clean Air Day (Oct 7th) that allows individuals and organizations to commit to do our part to clear the air, through actions big and small.

Just in time for Clean Air Day, we spend this episode talking about the air you can see, which is not good air. In fact, air pollution affects millions of people around the globe and is a disaster in its own right. Compounding this is the fact that air you can't see can be polluted and also contributes to climate change. Take a journey with Dr. Jones back to her childhood in Southern California where smog days kept her home from school, and find out what you can do now to help clean up the air as an individual and a member of your community.

Perhaps it’s the fact that we can’t see air pollution that is the reason why it doesn’t attract the same attention as plastic pollution. Professor Ranjeet Sokhi from the University of Hertfordshire’s Centre for Atmospheric and Climate Physics Research has some surprises about where air pollution in St.Albans comes from, the effect on our health [...]

Show #505   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 19th June 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Hello to another new PRODUCER CLINTON DESVEAUX! And new PRODUCER NEIL BUTLER   Clean Air Day with TryEV!   Tesla Day tomorrow!   WORLD'S FIRST HOMEMADE TESLA TRUCK "In a total boss move, Simone Giertz—who for a long time has wanted to own "an electric pickup truck, more specifically, a Tesla pickup,"—created her very own custom Tesla pickup, which she affectionately named "Truckla." says Popular Mechanics: "The project took a year of planning and required a complete teardown of the car's interior, including door panels and gaskets. Once that was done, the team moved on to frame modifications and used reciprocating saws and grinders to remove the Tesla's roof beams. Truckla's bed, for example, was originally the bed of a Ford F-150, while the rear window came from a GMC Canyon.   https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a28086506/homemade-tesla-truck-simone-giertz/   IRELAND TO BAN NEW PETROL AND DIESEL VEHICLES FROM 2030 "The Irish government plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, as part of a major strategy to protect the environment." reports the BBC today: "The aim is to ensure that all new cars and vans on Irish roads in 11 years' time are electric vehicles. The proposed legislation was among 180 measures in the government's Climate Action Plan, published on Monday. The hope is that by the time the petrol and diesel vehicle ban is introduced in 2030 there will be 950,000 electric vehicles on Irish roads. The government is set to invest in a "nationwide" charging network to power the new vehicles. By 2025, at least one recharging point will be required at new non-residential buildings with more than 10 parking spaces."   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-48668791   BENTLEY TO ELECTRIFY ALL MODELS BY 2023; EV COMING IN 2025 "according to a new report from Car and Driver, the company has a timeline for its electric plans with the company's first fully electric vehicle debuting in 2025." says Motor1.com: "Along with its first electric vehicle, Bentley plans to hybridize every model in its lineup – the Continental GT, Flying Spur, and Mulsanne. The company will likely use the same turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 in the Bentayga that's also rumored to power the Continental GT hybrid. Customers fearful a hybrid would neuter the brand need not worry. In the Bentayga, the gasoline-electric powertrain makes 443 horsepower (330 kilowatts) and 516 pound-feet (700 Newton-meters) of torque, propelling the hefty SUV to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 5.5 seconds up to a top speed of 158 mph (254 kph). Plus, the added torque boost from the 17.3-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery will feel stupendous."   https://www.motor1.com/news/355621/bentley-electrify-models-2023-electric/   NIO BEGINS DELIVERIES OF NEW ES6 ELECTRIC CROSSOVER IN CHINA "Nio announced on Tuesday that the first ES6 electric crossovers have been delivered to their owners in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. It's the automaker's second mass-production model, following the larger ES8, but the company also has the EP9 electric hypercar in its portfolio, which is impressive in its own right." writes CNET: "With five seats onboard, the ES6 is smaller and shorter than the ES8, but its wheelbase is the same. Buyers have a choice of two powertrains: A pair of electric motors putting out 430 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, or a beefier pair that puts out 536 hp and 535 lb-ft. Buyers can also choose between a 70-kilowatt-hour battery and an 84-kWh battery, the latter of which can reach up to 317 miles by NEDC estimates, which are usually higher than EPA estimates."   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/nio-es6-electric-crossover-deliveries-china/   2020 PEUGEOT 2008 DEBUTS WITH BOLD SUV LOOKS AND AN EV OPTION "After a successful first generation, Peugeot's second-generation 2008 SUV breaks the code somewhat from the familiar formula, not the least of which is a fully electric e-2008 model we'll touch on later." according to Motor1: "The new electric Peugeot is visually the same as its internal-combustion-powered sibling, with the same interior space. In place of a fuel tank and engine, you'll find a single electric motor generating 136 horsepower (101 kilowatts) and 192 pound-feet (260 Newton-meters) of instant torque. It's driven by a rather modest 50 kWh battery, which Peugeot says is good for a range of approximately 193 miles (312 kilometers). Recharge times vary depending on the power source, but a 100kW terminal can recharge the e-2008 to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes."   TESLA TO CHANGE DEFAULT MODEL 3 COLOR TO WHITE "Elon Musk has announced that Tesla will be switching the Model 3’s standard color from Solid Black to Simple White. After these changes are implemented, Musk noted that the Model 3’s black paint option would command a $1,000 price, similar to Midnight Metallic Silver." says Simon at Teslarati: "Utilizing a Simple White color for the Model 3’s standard paint option could play to the electric car maker’s advantages. While not as stunning as the Pearl White Multi-Coat, Simple White paint would likely attract attract far fewer scratches than the current standard Solid Black. This would likely make the Model 3 far easier to maintain, ultimately benefiting both the vehicle’s owners and Tesla itself."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-energy-reduces-residential-solar-costs-drops-us-rankings/   TESLA ARCADE IS HERE, LETTING YOU PLAY DRIVING SIMS WITH YOUR CAR'S STEERING WHEEL "Tesla has begin rolling out an update that will effectively turn its cars into a proper gaming platform. Tesla Arcade will make games powered by the Unreal and Unity engines playable on dashboards to keep you occupied when you're sitting around waiting for your car to charge" writes Tech Radar: "CEO Elon Musk teased Tesla Arcade at this year's E3 game show, revealing that Bethesda's Fallout Shelter would soon be available to play on dashboards, and for the official launch the company released a trailer demonstrating its first ported game, Beach Buggy 2."   https://www.techradar.com/news/tesla-arcade-is-here-letting-you-play-driving-sims-with-your-cars-steering-wheel   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.
