One of the things I really miss about my rural upbringing is

the fresh air. Here in Edmonton, I find it’s rare to be able to step

outside and really get a breath of air that isn’t filled with exhaust

fumes. And living close to the school makes it even tougher to

breathe fresh air on a weekday. We idle our cars a lot and it’s not

only our air quality that suffers! The impact of idling on our

health is also cause for concern; not to mention the money it

wastes in fuel consumption.

Idling is damaging to health. Exhaust fumes contain many pol-

lutants including ozone. Ozone is a known irritant of the respira-

tory tract and causes airways to close and shrink which can initi-

ate asthma attacks, aggravate existing heart and lung disease,

and also cause respiratory illnesses. This is especially alarming

when thinking about our children’s health as kids breathe more

quickly than adults, and therefore inhale more pollutants per

pound of body weight.

Idling is a major contributor to climate change. For every Li-

tre of gasoline used, a vehicle produces 2.3 kg of carbon dioxide

(CO2). CO2 is one of the main greenhouse gases and increasing

amounts are contributing to climate change by trapping heat in-

side the Earth’s atmosphere, raising the average global tempera-

ture. According to Natural Resources Canada, if every Canadian

avoided idling just 3 minutes per day, every day of the year, CO2

emissions would be reduced by 1.4 million tonnes per year. This

alone would save 630 million litres of fuel which is equivalent to

taking 320,000 cars off the road for a year!

Idling is costly. In winter, Canadians idle for a total of 75 million

minutes per day! And for every ten minutes of idling, the average

vehicle consumes a cup of gasoline. It’s also not good for your

vehicle’s engine. Because the engine isn’t operating at its optimal

temperature while idling, combustion is incomplete and residues

can collect on cylinder walls, contaminate oil, and damage other

components of the engine, adding to your vehicle’s maintenance

costs.

What can you do? There is an idling bylaw when parked by

schools and hospitals. However, the bylaw only applies when

temperatures rise above zero degrees. Drivers are not permitted

to idle more than 5 minutes when parked in a no idling zone.

Buses, taxis, and emergency vehicles are exempt from this bylaw

as they may be required to maintain comfortable temperature

inside the vehicle for those more vulnerable to the cold. The by-

law is a start, but it isn’t enough.

Shut off your vehicle. If you’re not driving with someone vulner-

able to the cold – ill, elderly, or very young, shut off the vehicle if

you will be parked for longer than 60 seconds. There’s a miscon-

ception that restarting the vehicle costs more than idling. This is

not true. According to Natural Resources Canada, ten seconds of

idling uses more fuel than restarting the engine. There is also a

misconception that vehicles require a lot of time to “warm up”.

This is also not true. Even in very cold weather, there is no need

to warm up a vehicle for longer than 60 seconds. A vehicle’s

steering, suspension, transmission and tires can only warm up

while it is moving and this requires at least 5 kilometres of driv-

ing. Avoid remote starters in weather warmer than -10 degrees

and remember, most of us can handle a little cold! We are tough

Canadians.

Wild Rose Old Tyme Fiddlers Association

– In your community.

PRESENTS AN OPEN MIC – OLD TIME JAMBOREE

Every Thursday evening starting 7:00 pm at North Glenora Community Hall we host a music jamboree. We have a core of musicians on stage; others sign up to take a turn to sing or play their instrument with the assistance of those backup musicians. Or if dancing is your thing – come out to listen to old time music and dance the night away. If you play an instrument but do not want to go on stage you are welcome to play in the circle on the floor with the other musicians. We generally have about 50 plus people on a Thursday night – some come to dance, other comes to just listen. We sell tickets on a “Chase the Ace” 50/50 Raffle Draw each night – at present the Progressive Pot is worth just over $500. Admission is $5.00 and everyone is welcome – includes coffee, tea and a light lunch served approximately 8:00 p.m.

For more information, contact: Wayne Kirk at 780-722-9428

Come check us out on a Thursday night at North Glenora Community Hall, 13535 – 109A Avenue, Edmonton or visit our website: www.wildrosefiddlers.org.
