Help Keep Air Cleaner Near School

2/10/2012

Whether you’re parked in one of the slots in the parking lot or waiting in the pick-up line, please do your part to keep the air around our school a little bit cleaner – TURN YOUR KEY, BE IDLE FREE! Ten seconds of idling uses more fuel than restarting your engine. Children breathe more quickly and take more air per minute into their lungs than adults do which makes them more vulnerable in idling hot spots. Both drivers and passengers are exposed to higher levels of vehicle exhaust in an idling vehicle than one in motion.
