No Idle Zone building support

In case you missed it, Saturday’s editorial about the community effort to encourage folks to turn off their car engines while waiting in line or outside someone’s home.

The editorial raises an interesting observation I hadn’t thought of:

It may be easier for the younger generation to adopt No Idle. Gloria Lundin, president of the Community Foundation, recalls when seat belts were once awkward and foreign but have become second nature.

The group meets one last time Wednesday before February’s kickoff.

And yeah, even I remember as a child when wearing seat belts became a “new thing.” It wasn’t the law. It was after two car accidents in a year.
