Air pollution affects everyone’s health. It’s linked to a range of health problems throughout our lives – from premature birth and childhood asthma to heart and lung disease, diabetes and strokes in later life.

We may be exposed to higher levels of air pollution because of where we live, and children, older people and people with existing health conditions experience the health harms of dirty air more than others.

By coming together to take action on air pollution in our communities, we can help both children and adults live healthier and longer lives, boost our local economies and make our communities cleaner and greener.

Today is World Refill Day! 💧 (16 June)

Have you got your reusable bottle or cup ready to go? 🌍

Single-use plastic continues to be a major environmental challenge—but we can all make a difference. By simply taking reusable items like bottles, lunchboxes, and cups when we head out, we help cut down on plastic waste.

Thanks to HQ, it’s easier than ever to take action. Download the free Refill app and tap into a global network of places where you can reduce, reuse, and refill—whether it’s grabbing a coffee on your commute, filling up on water, or shopping with less plastic.
