4 - No Idle Zones
Chloe, 16, USA - We are a school club at Lincoln Academy in Maine. We launched four advocacy campaigns. We successfully implemented a school-wide no-idle zone for buses and cars on our campus.
We talked with idling car and bus drivers about the pros, cons, health hazards, and pollution factors of idling. As of this spring of 2008, 6 months after we began the project, we did not see any buses or cars idling. We plan on continuing to monitor the amount of idling on our campus.

AWESOME JOB! What steps did you take to reach out to your audience and get them to change these behaviors?

We received a number of educational materials which we circulated around our school. We also talked directly to idling drivers, giving them pamphlets and pledge cards to inform them about the hazards of idling. We have been continually talking to drivers to spread awareness about the issue and diffuse it around our town. We are now working with the local elementary/middle school on a similar project!
