[quote=Anonymous]If I don't have errands to run during one of my children's practices/ECs, I will often sit in my car and read or catch up on emails. Unless it's absolutely freezing outside or raining, I turn off my car and open the windows. Many other parents are in their cars too and I've noticed that most are running their cars for the whole hour, sometimes more. I could understand if it was really hot or really cold, but the weather doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm genuinely curious why people do this--aren't they wasting fuel? Related--we are having road work done in our neighborhood and the dump trucks line the streets, idling for hours and hours. A cement mixer idling indefinitely might make sense, but the dump trucks? Unlike the parents idling at sports practice, construction trucks idling are actually disruptive to the neighborhood. [/quote]
