[Click here for direct link to this story] The Center for the Environment's Campaign for Clean Air staff has been helping Kannapolis Middle School prepare for its "No Idling" campaign for parents who drop off and pick up their children at school. Campaign staff provided a "No Idling Toolkit" fr teachers and students involved in the program. Students in one classroom are responsible for collecting data about car idling at the school. As part of the planned media blitz, they will hand out air quality literature provided by the Campaign staff and explain the program and its purpose. Campaign staff has also provided the class with a CO2 monitor to students can see the differences in emissions between hybrid and gasoline cars.
