Idle Free City Signs, Now that's a good idea.

How come I have never seen one of these before ? What a Great idea. I wonder if this became a LAW how quickly we could reduce Carbon Emissions. Ever notice how many people sit in their cars with the motor running ?

Voluntary idling is one of the many daily actions that seem negligible but that, when taken cumulatively, can have a large impact on total emissions of carbon dioxide and on the environment more generally. The pernicious impact of idling has long been recognized. Many countries have pursued anti-idling initiatives, including a nationwide campaign in Canada
and regional campaigns in Japan and Great Britain. Domestically, at least 13 states have state-wide anti-idling laws, and scores of counties and cities have their own anti-idling rules. For a summary of anti-idling regulations in the US, see:
http://epa.gov/smartway/documents/420b06004.pdf

The average annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from 5 minutes of daily idling ranged
from 220 lbs to 440 lbs per year, depending on engine size. Given that each US household or family has 1.8 passenger vehicles, on average, this translates to approximately 400 lbs to 800 lbs of reduced carbon dioxide emissions per family if they can eliminate 5 minutes of voluntary idling each day.

Most voluntary idling is pure waste. It wastes gasoline, and therefore money, impairs the operating efficiency of our cars, and emits additional greenhouse gases. So why do we do it? Perhaps the biggest reason is that our rules of thumb for driving cars derive mostly from a time before electronic ignition became universal, and therefore are outdated. If you recall
when you learned to drive, you were probably told by your parents or your instructor that turning off and on the car repeatedly would
(1) wear out the battery,
(2) wear out the starter, and
(3) waste gas.

Today, nearly every passenger vehicle engine (cars, SUVs, and pickups) uses electronic ignition and none of these three concerns exists any longer.
