 GREEN TEAM NEWS

Please try not to idle, even during these cold winter days.  Why?    

SEVEN REASONS NOT TO IDLE:           

1. Idling for 10 seconds uses more gasoline than restarting your car.
2. Idling for 10 minutes uses as much fuel as it takes to travel five (5) miles.
3. Children are especially vulnerable to air pollution. They breathe faster than adults, inhale more air per pound of body weight, and stand at tailpipe level.
4. You are not safe from air pollution inside an idling vehicle. Exposure to some pollutants is actually higher inside an idling vehicle than at the roadside.
5. It only takes 30 seconds to warm up your car and start driving on cold days. 
6. Idling vehicles emit 20 times more pollution than one traveling at 30 miles per hour.
7. Idling your vehicle for more than 3 minutes is against the law in New Jersey.
