Turn Off the Car!

If parked and waiting, turn othe engine off! Why? Sitting in an idling car means you are breathing in more of the dirty exhaust that leaks into the car cabin. Any warmth or cooling you may get from a car heater or AC is not worth the damage to your health.

"If parked and waiting, it is healthier to get out of your car and go inside a store or building." - Environmental Defense Fund (EDF)

Idling = Pollution: Bad for the planet + Bad for you to Breathe!

"Turn off your ignition if you're waiting more than 10 seconds." - EDF
