Why has smoking around children been banned…but idling vehicles in schools is still OK?Every school day, parents and bus drivers idle their vehicles in school car parks across Australia and New Zealand, releasing dangerous emissions into the places where students study, play and breathe. In some cities and towns, there are areas where air pollution is so bad that experts have compared it to smoking cigarettes.This week I chat with Emma Sutcliffe and Clare Walter about the Idle Off Initiative.https://www.idleoff.com.au/ This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

This is a follow on from a recent video review I did after driving MG's new ZS EV. Listeners will know I drive Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid which fits my family needs in terms of space but it is not fully electric. Something I struggle with. Putting Dino juice in my car is something that just feels wrong. I'm still on the fence .......But hope you find my explanation why interesting. For more in the MG ZS EV go tohttps://mgmotor.co.nz/models/mg-zsev/ This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp
