Trzaskowski Presents Anti-Smog Plan:

We Take the Problem Extremely Seriously.

First, coal-fired stoves, second, air quality monitoring, third, as much green space as possible. And fourth, new tasks for the Municipal Guard. All officers will treat this matter as an absolute priority; if someone is burning plastic, the officers will have to respond there first – said Rafał Trzaskowski during a press conference at the capital's city hall. In addition, we will add the ability to report air pollution to the city's 19115 reporting system. Another issue is organizational changes. It is extremely important that a special unit be established within the city hall dedicated to the fight for clean air – Trzaskowski added. 130 electric buses are coming next year. Education is extremely important. And of course, a change in the city's communication policy on this matter. We will launch an unprecedented information campaign and also a full consultation process to be able to cooperate with Warsaw residents in combating smog – assured the Mayor of the Capital. We will begin the consultation process next year. We take the problem of smog extremely seriously, and we approach its eradication with full determination, as it is one of the most important priorities we have set for ourselves – Trzaskowski concluded.
