In an ongoing effort to spread the word about eco-friendly measures, the Chamber would like to share a tip from the online Green Guide to ease your daily commute. We all know traffic in Southern California is a bear, especially during the summer months with the Del Mar Racetrack in full force and with tourists flocking to our beaches. Here’s one way you can help reduce emissions in the region: turn your ignition off when you will be stopped or parked for more than thirty seconds. Idling for more than 30 seconds burns more gas than it takes to restart the engine, thus

producing more toxic emissions. For more green tips, visit www.thegreengiude.com.
