As part of the campaign, activists distribute reflective flip bracelets to pedestrians and cyclists and explain how important it is for them to be visible to drivers on dark streets. After all, street lighting is limited in all cities in the evenings, and in some cities the lights are turned off altogether. This leads to an increase in the number of accidents involving pedestrians and injuries on the roads.
Activists also remind that an automatic system of public air quality and radiation monitoring works in all regions. Therefore, Ukrainians, especially people who belong to vulnerable categories, can check for excessive environmental pollution before taking a walk, on the map https://cleanair.org.ua/
Or connect the Smog alarm chatbot and receive notifications about the danger of the environment immediately in Telegram on your phone.
Call “Breathe freely!” is also a reminder of the liberation struggle of Ukrainians for freedom from the Russian occupiers.
