They’re all over the gaff around there.
I don’t think it’s a great campaign. Too esoteric.
They had one on a seat that homeless people use (outside the Huguenot cemetery) as well, along with hazard tape.
Very poorly thought through. There is a lack of public seating in Dublin and we need more of it. It is not sitting on public benches that is causing health problems.
calculation on that website is badly flawed. Commuting and working aren’t necessarily done sitting down. It says I’m high risk but I’m on my feet for a lot of my working day, I stand during my commute and walk more than 8km a day (1k to and from train on both ends of that journey and walking during my working day).
Should do it on a per hour basis eg. for every hour spent sitting, be sure to get 10 minutes light exercise.
Don’t posters have to carry the name of the organisation, who printed them, etc?

Standing desks are the new Zimmerframes.
The worst are rocking chairs. I saw one out of the corner of my eye skittering in behind the Pepperpot Church when I was walking home in the early hours the other morning. If a taxi hadn’t cruised by, I’d a been toast.
I pulled the cushions off my sofa and found a fiver in change. Its clearly killing me for my money, the bastard.
Bad chairs bad chairs
