“There’s no need to smell and breathe excess exhaust in an area that is supposed to take you away from it all,” said Maura Olivos, Sustainability Coordinator for the Alta Environmental Center. The Alta Environmental Center, along with the Town of Alta, Friends of Alta, and Alta Community Enrichment, have bumped knuckles to promote Idle Free Utah - a campaign that started in 2008.
A formal proclamation against idling was issued in January 2009 and now the idea is spreading up and down Utah’s Little Cottonwood Canyon. Kill your engines. The town hopes to encourage (no citations will be issued) drivers to reduce vehicle pollution. Locals everywhere have been handing out ‘Idle Free’ car decals.
