Is it bad for the environment to leave a car running for no reason? I ask this question because it is one of my biggest pet peeves and it seems to be happening all around me. We had a guy come out to our house tonight to give us an estimate on paving our driveway and he left his truck running the whole 45 minutes he was here. I wanted to say something but I don't want to sound like a freak but in the meantime steam was shooting out of my ears!
I sit in the parking lot at my daughters school every afternoon to pick her up and there are cars running all around me for 20+ minutes. We don't live in extreme weather conditions that would require heat or a/c but people just seem to be ignorant.
It's like a bad dream - everywhere I turn there is an ignorant person sitting in their car with it running for extended periods of time. How can I refrain from getting so incredibly irritated by this? Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill? Please help me!!
