The Minneapolis City Council approved an ordinance last week that makes it illegal to keep your vehicle idling for more than three minutes. Those crazy Minnesotans. Next thing you know, they'll be electing Stuart Smalley to the Senate. The new ordinance is aimed at cutting back emissions and improving air quality. The average vehicle burns through more tha half a gallon of fuel for every hour spent idling, and according to the Energy Department, 10 seconds of idling uses more fuel than re-starting your car. And Minneapolis residents accustomed to minus-40 degree January mornings should take note of this fun fact: idling a cold engine pollutes more than driving it does. The ordinance includes some rather common sense exceptions. Notably, if you're stuck in traffic, you don't have to turn off your car. Also, police cars idling at speed traps are exempt. We're not sure what kind of impact this new rule will have, but it's nice to read about a progressive environmental initiative that originates somewhere other than the Bay Area. Comments (15)

Instead of doing that, they should advocate the use of neutral gear when stopped in traffic or at lights. I've saved a fair amount of fuel by sitting in neutral.
I want to say is that many designers are very cool look with patent leather cork. Now, Christian Louboutin sandals have this fabulous features red patent leather and cork insole. This is a very unique looking shoe (eg, mostly from Christian Louboutin shoes store). Other sandals very expensive and often the cheapest but also 885 dollars. Pairs of shoes so I try to make love is a kind of a wedge heel and daggers desire. However, I buy shoes not only look at the price, but also the shape, nice appearance, but often very expensive, can not see the right, recently bought a lot of shoes, these shoes are cheap and fall to buy it from a Christian louboutin shoes The. Christian louboutin shoes still have a wide variety of shoes, you can always pick the top to a style you like, the most important christian louboutin pumps are really cheap, and recently launched the Fall-Winter shoes, are being Hot in the. . . .

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.
So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
