Idle reduction

So, you know how when we have a car and we are not driving it, but still have the engine on, it's called idling?

Yes, idle reduction is a way to reduce the time we keep the engine on when the car is not moving. It is important because when the engine is on, it uses gas and creates pollution.

There are many ways to reduce idling, like turning off the engine when we are waiting in traffic, at a drive-thru, or when we are parked. We can also use new technologies, like hybrid or electric cars, which use less or no gas when idling.

By reducing idling, we can save money on gas and help keep the air clean and healthy for us to breathe.
