As these greenhouse gases continue to build, the result will be more extreme weather,
melting glaciers and an increase in sea levels.

These vehicles are designed to that the gasoline engine stops when the vehicle is at
a red light, thus eliminating unnecessary idling time.

By each of us doing what we can to reduce car idling, we can collectively make a positive
difference both for the sake of the environment, as well as our own.
