Fast food drive-through

Changing your habits at the drive-in can also change the environment and help in your quest to "Go Green".

There are many ways to join the Go Green Pennsylvania movement, but did you know that not running your engine idly can help?

E Square Capital, did you know that letting your engine run for more than 30 seconds without moving burns more gas than restarting your car?

Instead of going through a drive through restaurant and waiting to receive your food, walk in and order your food. Not only will you save energy and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide you emit by walking in, but the exercise your body gets from taking the time will make you feel great.

Try this the next time you get the urge for something hot from your favorite drive-through restaurant. Tell a friend if you noticed any difference.

Go Green New York!
