Idle no more
So you’ve heard that idling is bad for the earth, that it isn’t “green”. But did you know that idling your car contributes to health problems? Even with advanced emissions controls, cars and light trucks (not to mention large trucks) emit pollutants such as carbon monoxide, ground level ozone and particulate matter that can contribute to headaches, asthma and allergies. And did you know that idling wastes fuel? In fact, you use more fuel idling for 10 seconds than you turning off and restarting your engine. 10 seconds! Add to this the fact that idling (for more than 5 minutes) is illegal in MA and there are lots of reasons for each of us to idle no more.
