ABC
Plumbing, Heating and Electrical is dedicated to reducing
emissions within our fleet of vehicles by cutting down
on idling which reduces gas emissions while also saving
fuel costs. It's the smart thing to do for our community,
our families, for our environment!
Leaving a vehicle idling - it's something we often do
without thinking about it.
It's
about our health
Car,
truck and bus emissions are the single largest source
of smog-causing pollutants in Ontario.
Children
are particularly vulnerable to air pollution, because
they inhale more air per pound of body weight.
Exposure
to most auto pollutants is much higher inside a vehicle,
than at the roadside.
Every
year, 16,000 Canadians die prematurely from air pollution.
It's about our environment
Climate
change is caused by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases
are mostly generated by burning fossil fuels.
Industrialized
nations have produced almost all the greenhouse gases
now present in the atmosphere, and their emissions
continue to grow.
We
can stabilize our climate by acting now to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. Cutting down on idling vehicles is
a great place to begin!
It's about saving money
Ten
seconds of idling uses more gas than restarting an engine.
Reduced
idling by 5 minutes a day saves us over $100 per year
and supports the growth and stability of our company.
