Did you know that leaving your car engine running while you are parked
for longer than 10 seconds:
- wastes gas?
- is bad for your car’s engine?
- is harmful to children’s developing lungs?
- is bad for the environment?
When multiple cars are idling at places like school pick-up zones, drive through lines, or even waiting at a red light, they actually create "hot spots" of localized air pollution.
Thank you for taking the pledge to Turn Your Key, Be Idle Free!
Please talk to your child(ren) about the positive impacts of your decision!
