The UPS Foundation has donated $350,000 to take the No-Idling Campaign national with partners Earth Day Network and The Clean Air Campaign.
The project, started in Georgia, USA, by The Clean Air Campaign and designed for schools, is aimed at reducing harmful vehicle emissions around children and protecting the environment by eliminating vehicle idling at schools across America.
“Turning off your engine while waiting to pick up your child is such a simple step to help everyone breathe cleaner air, save money on gas and reduce emissions all at the same time,” said Kathleen Rogers, president of Earth Day Network. “Vehicle idling wastes fuel and money. In fact, idling for 30 seconds uses more fuel than restarting your engine, and idling for 10 minutes a day wastes an average of 24.6 gallons of gas per year.”
