### Engaging the public with survey boards
The second board has a map of the local area. Passers-by were encouraged to scan the QR code (taking them to the addresspollution.org website - note this website is currently not working), enter their address, and add a sticker to the map indicating whether where they lived had very high, high, moderate, or low levels of air pollution. As you can see, nearly all of the stickers added are red, indicating these people are living with 'very high' levels of air pollution.

### Mini-action 
Using the green light (for pedestrians) over a crossing on a main road, close to the survey boards, to bring attention to the outreach and amplify the message
