Good Neighbours / Reducing Emissions / Recycling / Community Support

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.
