Reduced idling time can add up to large savings

An average vehicle idling for 10 minutes burns over 1 cup of fuel, producing 690 grams of CO2. 

If Canadian drivers avoided unnecessary idling for just 3 minutes every day, we would collectively save over $630 million!  

In 1 year, we would prevent 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. That's the equivalent of taking 320,000 cars off of the road! 

Clearly, individual actions, when taken by millions of Canadians, can make a difference.
