Idling buses, trucks, and cars are no idle matter, especially when kids' growing lungs are at stake. If tackling air pollution in your entire community sounds like a Herculean task, try acting locally to boost the health and safety of the children in your school district, first-with a little help from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Idle-Reduction Campaign.

Packed with downloadable materials to help you launch your own idle-reduction campaign in your neighborhood, the EPA's online kit also includes an idle-reduction pledge bus drivers and parents can sign once they've agreed to shave off some of their idling time.

Plus, with the press-release template the agency has provided, you can extend the reach of your campaign (and inspire others to do the same) by publicizing it in the local papers. ::EPA
