Idling — Mums for Lungs Idling is a frustrating and unnecessary source of air pollution. Many parents in our network have repeatedly witnessed it happening outside schools, in town centres, playgrounds and at hospitals.

NEW: We've revamped our idling flyer with updated facts and statistics.

Over 50,000 of these have been sent out since we first launched this nearly 5 years ago! You can join the party by downloading or ordering some for free below.

Air pollution kills thousands a year in the UK and abroad – why isn’t there a bigger uproar? | Devi Sridhar Initiatives such as London’s ULEZ can be a model for other cities. But even more could be done to save lives and protect us from deadly toxins in the air, says Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global publi...

This is a good read, by @profdevisridhar.bsky.social.

Mindfulness is booming, even as the air we breathe is toxic. Very glad to see action on #WoodBurning & #Idling at the top of your list!

"No amount of calm awareness can offset air that is quietly damaging our #Health".

Cough, Cough: Adams Administration Hands Largest Ever Idling Law Exemption to NJ Charter Bus Company Academy Bus Lines requested the exemption — the largest in DEP's history — after receiving more than $500,000 in idling violations. But there is some good news.

Be honest. How much time do you sit in your car, on the phone, #idling in a parking lot?

Did you know that choice causes significant #pollution that impact your neighbor’s health, costs you money by wasting fuel, and adds wear and tear to your vehicle?

These students cut air pollution near their schools – by taking aim at their parents’ idling cars When parents leave their cars idling outside schools, pollution levels spike. The solution could be as simple as teaching children how to ask for change.

Primary school students from two #Melbourne schools made a real difference to air #pollution near their school by talking about the problem of #idling cars with their parents.

This is still a great noise, even when it's idling in the station at Dorchester West here.

It would leave after the GWR train arrived, making quite a noise in the process.

Here, it would wait for 20 minutes, so I got a good look around here.

After seeing it at the Cricket Club, we went over to Dorchester West to see it return.

Man in a van outside #idling now for MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR 🚐 💨 🤢 , using his phone now & then because of course he is and he has to use it on speaker so we all get to hear. It’s like theatre.

Inconsiderate and wasteful and arrogant.

Insane person in a Ford SUV on my street #idling their engine while the planet burns …

IDLING MYTH #6 “I can avoid a traffic warden giving me a ticket on a yellow line.” Wrong. It is an offence to idle and it can get you a ticket. The traffic warden will ask you to leave if you are in the car, regardless of whether your engine is on. #idling #EnginesOff

IDLING MYTH #5 “Leaving the car running is cheaper, as it uses less fuel than switching on and off again.” Wrong! Idling for more than 10 sec actually uses more fuel than switching on and off again. #idling #EnginesOff

IDLING MYTH #4 "I need the engine running to use car functions such as phone charging and listening to the radio without draining the battery” You can run these functions with the engine off. The car battery will not go flat by just running these #IdlingMyths #Idling #EnginesOff

IDLING MYTH #3 “I need to keep the engine running to keep warm when it’s cold.” The engine usually stays warm for at least 30min after switching off. This residual heat will keep the inside of the car warm. #IdlingMyths #Idling #EnginesOff

IDLING MYTH #2 “I’m not affected if I’m sitting inside a car.” Tests show that #AirPollution inside cars is HIGHER than outside, as cars take in emissions from surrounding vehicles and recirculate them. #IdlingMyths #Idling #EnginesOff

IDLING MYTH #1 “Idling doesn’t create a lot of #AirPollution" Wrong! An idling car can produce twice as much emissions as an engine in motion (150 balloons of harmful emissions every minute). Switching off your engine CAN reduce air pollution. #idling #EnginesOff

Raise awareness on the negative impact of #idling 💨 by watching this powerful short video. Remember to turn #EnginesOff to reduce pollution and save fuel. #environmentalawareness buff.ly/3tuEEz0

Join us in the fight against unnecessary #idling! 💨Let's raise awareness about the harmful effects of #AirPollution. Download our anti idling leaflet at buff.ly/3gseGFE or get in touch (if you live in NW3) to receive some flyers. Together we can make a difference!💪

I also got these images while I was out covering the Stoneblower today (and the bonus train arrival).

A Network Rail Stoneblower is currently parked in the yard for overnight works taking place between Dorchester South and Moreton & in the video, is seen turned on.
