A new initiative called My Pollution Story has been launched as a community-driven initiative on social media to highlight the personal impact of air pollution through stories of people living, working, and navigating life through various kinds of pollution. Launched on Instagram by the Clean Air Collective (an unbranded network of about 150 people and organisations working on air pollution), the My Pollution Story initiative aims to become a community-owned platform where everyone can share their stories and experiences.
