As I know you care very much about the environment, etc., that means fewer cars through the stop sign, just sitting there, idling.
Does it help safety? No, because if you are going to be rear-ended, it does not normally matter where the cars in front of you are.
All this practice achieves, is pissing off other drivers, making them miss the light, and blocking them from the turn lane.
