"Can I give you a hand to lift your car into the scrap-metal bin?"

was it a quick one trip stop? in that case I would not have said anything. If it was for 5 or more minutes I would have pointed out that all he was saving by recycling he was spending by keeping his car running.

Wendy; If only I had the courage...

Mary Lou; He was long enough to need to switch off his engine. He also pulled his car right up in front of the bins rather than use a parking space.

I would say, it's good that you are making the effort but carry on trying to be better yet!

Spooky; I think that some people just miss the point.

Unfortuately, some people believe that they create excessive wear and tear on their car's starter and ignition during frequent and closely-spaced ignition and re-ignition. It would help if environmental PSA's would dispel that myth.

Bella: I'm glad to hear that someone else knows that fact. My husband thought I was making it up.
