BWH visitors, vendors and staff should turn off their motor vehicles whenever possible when parked at BWH or in the neighborhood. Unnecessary idling of motor vehicles wastes energy, pollutes the environment and poses serious health risks. It makes patients, staff and neighbors uncomfortable and needlessly exposes everyone to toxic fumes and noise.
