Healthy Communities Don't Idol.
9/21/2007 at 6:27 AM
I slipped into the Hospital to purchase a Timmies Coffee today, there is a by-law against this practice, and noticed a sign that says: “Healthy Communities Don’t Idol.” People keeping their engines running while they wait in line at either of the other two outlets caused me to think about the pollution produced by these vehicles. At my estimation you could wait for up to 15 minutes, moving, Idling, and looking at the car in front to make sure you don’t rear end it. You cannot turn off your engine because it may cause too much wear and tear on your starter. Why haven’t the creative minds of north America invented a system like in the car-wash where you pull up to a designated spot, hook up to the system, place your car in neutral, turn off your engine and sit back, relax, phone the office or complete some book work? If someone could think of a way real quick we could have it installed at the new Timmies on Eighteenth Street, and breathe a little easier in the future.
