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”
