It was incredibly moving to attend this unveiling yesterday. Ella and Rosamund have challenged and inspired so many to do what we can to improve #airpollution including me. Hopefully this statue will inspire others to do what they can too. 💙💙💙

“We cannot see the toxic air we are breathing in everyday, but hopefully this statue will remind us to stop and think, and for decision makers and politicians to do what is right and clean up the air we breathe.” ❤️ @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social
