In London town
At the bottom of the street
in a local park
There are some pigeons to meet.

Pip is the leader,
Lil’P, number two
Precious likes to eat lots
and they all love to coo.

But Pip has a secret
tucked under her wing
do you want to know about
Pip’s hidden thing?

You want to know my secret?
I have asthma.
It means I have breathing difficulties.
I hide my inhaler under my wing.
It helps me to breathe easily.

Pollution makes my asthma worse
and people can get asthma
because of air pollution.
Have you ever seen an inhaler before?

Cars, vans and lorries use petrol or diesel and this produces lots of polluting gases.

Factories give off pollution as they make their products.

Airplane exhausts, like car exhausts, contains a lots of air pollutants.

The more trash you produce, the more air pollution you cause.

Wasting energy at home by leaving lights and heating on.

What could we ask people to do?

How could we stop people using 
their cars as much?

What other transport could they use?
