We are 1st Bramhall Scouts – Badger Patrol. We are doing a community project to try to get people to stop idling their cars while waiting. As this burns a lot of fumes and affects air quality
Reasons to stop idling
- 2 minutes of idling burns the same amount of fuel as a mile of driving
- It will save money as you use less petrol which is useful as petrol prices are rising
- It is important to protect our planet as burning fuel is assisting to global warming which is catastrophic to our animals and eco systems
What you can do to help
- For a start you could try to idle less or even stop altogether
- For short journeys you could ride a bike or walk
- Petrol is better than diesel for the environment and hybrids and electrics are even better
- Download and print our posters and display them as many places as you can.
Thanks for reading and remember “Turn the key be idle free”
