Make Richmond upon Thames idle-free
We are pleased to support Richmond Councils Initiative to reduce vehicle idling across the Borough.
Car idling produces up to 150 balloons of exhaust emissions per minute containing harmful chemicals like cyanide, Nox and PM2.5 every minute.
It is estimated that 40,000 deaths a year are linked to air pollution, with car idling being a contributing factor?
By turning off your car you can:
- Improve the air quality inside and outside your car
- Reduce pollution
- Reduce the health risks linked with toxic air like heart disease, lung cancer and asthma
- Make our streets and level crossings nicer places to walk and cycle around
