9:00 AM- 2:00 PM
Please join Idle-Free Taipei in this educational promotion event!
is used EVERYDAY just by waiting at red lights.
The goal of this Clean Air Promotion is to gather a LOT of people at Roosevelt Rd/Keelung Rd Intersection and educate Taipei's scooter commuters on a few key facts about idling engines:
* Taipei spends nearly $900,000/day on fuel at red lights.
*Prenatal exposure to air pollution can result in an IQ score 4-5 points lower.
*Cancer is the leading cause of death in Taiwan. 20% of these deaths are from lung cancer.
*Taiwan is ranked #49 in world population, but #20 in CO2 output.
*Taiwan is ranked #25 in CO2 per person. (Japan is #35, CHINA IS #80!)
*Scooter mechanics confirm that stopping/restarting a scooter engine does not cause any extra damage.
Once made aware of these shocking facts, we're hoping scooter drivers across Taipei will make a conscious effort to eliminate unnecessary idling at those endless red lights. 99...98...97...96....
Unfortunately, this message can not be spread by only a few people, which is why you are invited. This Clean Air Promotion is going to be loud and proud, complete with media coverage, bubbles, and a special musical guest!!!
9:00-2:00 is DEFINITELY a long time, which is why we're asking people to come in 1-2 hour shifts. Write on the "Event Wall" when and how long you'll be attending Idle-Free Taipei's Clean Air Promotion.
Please join us to help promote Clean Air, so that the next time you see somebody turn off their engine at a red light, you can say "I taught that driver how to do that!"
Everyone deserves clean air!!!!!
