NO IDLING Zones at
Lakeway!
Idling -- or leaving your engine running while you wait -- is
being taken seriously at Lakeway. The exhaust from vehicles enters
the school and is not healthy. The Healthy Schools Committee is
asking visitors to turn off their engines at drop-off and pick-up
points if you are waiting for your child for more than 10 seconds.
Think that's too little?
Did you know?
- Idling your vehicle for more than just 10 seconds uses more
fuel than restarting your engine.
- Idling your vehicle for just 10 minutes uses as much fuel
as it takes to travel 5 miles.
- Idling your vehicle for 10 minutes a day uses more than 27
gallons of fuel a year.
For the health of our children and staff, here are the facts:
- IDLING CAUSES RESPIRATORY ILLNESS. Emissions contain Carbon
Monoxide, Nitrogen Oxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Benzene and several
other toxic chemicals that impair our lungs and heart. Prolonged
exposure may be fatal. Children, the elderly, and individuals
with asthma are especially at high-risk.†
- IDLING WASTES FUEL. Got gas? It's going right out your exhaust
pipe if you're leaving your engine running. Conserve your hard-earned
dollars and conserve gas.
- IDLING DAMAGES YOUR ENGINE. An idling engine results in incomplete
fuel combustion. Fuel residues can condense on cylinder walls,
contaminate oil, damage engine components, and deposit on spark
plugs. You're consuming 4 to 5% MORE gas by idling. Excessive
idling can also cause water to condense in the vehicle's exhaust,
which can lead to corrosion and reduce the life of the exhaust
system. However, frequent restarting has little impact on engine
components such as the starter motor and the battery.
For more information, visit the Dept. of Environmental Services'
website. Do your part. Reducing exhaust pollution is a great
step towards keeping our kids healthy.
