Well, the government of our province, who has done extensive research on this, has put out a brochure saying that idling more than 20 seconds is a waste of fuel and that there will be no adverse effects on the engine. So, who are less knowledgeable people such as you and me to argue with them?

Nobody is talking about shutting off the engine at traffic lights - that is ludicrous! We are talking of wanton waste of fuel during unnecessary idling.

Don't jump to conclusions that those of us who care about saving gas cannot afford cars. My vehicle is worth over $120,000 - I can buy two BMW's with that. We just happen to care about the environment.
