View Homes is dedicated to reducing emissions within
our fleet of vehicles by cutting down on idling
which reduces gas emissions while also saving fuel
costs. It's the smart thing to do for our community,
our families, for our environment!
Leaving a vehicle idling - it's something we often
do without thinking about it.
It's about our health
Car,
truck and bus emissions are the single largest source
of smog-causing pollutants in Ontario.
Children
are particularly vulnerable to air pollution, because
they inhale more air per pound of body
weight.
Exposure
to most auto pollutants is much higher inside a
vehicle, than at the roadside.
Every
year, 16,000 Canadians die prematurely from air
pollution.
It's about our environment
Climate
change is caused by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse
gases are mostly generated by burning
fossil fuels.
Industrialized
nations have produced almost all the greenhouse
gases now present in the atmosphere,
and their emissions continue to grow.
We
can stabilize our climate by acting now to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Cutting down
on idling vehicles is a great place to begin!
It's about saving money
Ten
seconds of idling uses more gas than restarting
an engine.
Reduced
idling by 5 minutes a day saves us over $100 per
year and supports the growth and stability
of our company, while passing the saving on to our
customers.
