It’s Idle Free Week at Oak Ridge High School. Did you know reducing vehicle idling saves fuel and money? First, car idling is when a vehicle is left running when it’s not in motion which is very bad because it is polluting and can harms peoples’ health even. Idling also causes damage to the car. People can stop these problems by limiting the amount of time they idle their cars and eventually learn to stop and help the Earth be a cleaner place.
