The Idling Action Project, supported by the Mayor of London, has joined local councils, businesses and individuals across London working together to cut dangerous vehicle emissions. There is now a new call for action amidst emerging evidence that air pollution is linked to poor recovery and higher infection rates of Covid-19 due to damage caused to the lungs.

“Idling Action’s #EnginesOff campaign asks businesses to pledge that their drivers and other employees will not leave their engines on when parked. As well as asking businesses to pledge, Newham Council’s fleet of vehicles will avoid idling whenever possible with employees undertaking driver training in line with the pledge.”
