[sustran] Re: Stop engine at the intersections

[Car Busters]

Dear Taiichi Inoue,
In Britain Bristol Cycling Campaign recently held a campaign to target
"idling engines". The group stuck thousands of stickers around Bristol,
mainly at all the traffic light intersections, telling motorists to switch
off their engines when stationary (they featured a picture of a car exhaust
pipe with a lsash through it). We are writing an article on this in the
next issue of "Car Busters"-magazine critiquing car culture and reporting
on the sustainable transport movement worldwide
