Tell Automakers Why You Want Green Cars Today
Target: CEOs of world's six largest automakers, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Nissan, ToyotaSponsored by: The Center for a New American Dream
The need for fuel-efficient cars has never been greater. With just four percent of the world's population, the United States consumes a quarter of global oil consumption; U.S. passenger vehicles alone guzzle 10 percent of the world's oil!
We spent $250 billion on this oil habit last year alone, and as a result we're less secure, more polluted, and economically weaker.
Existing technology such as advanced hybrid engines could dramatically decrease our oil consumption -- if only more automakers would grasp the urgency of the situation and incorporate efficient technology in many more vehicles.
Think about the people, places, and things that would be better off if automakers do their part to help us break our oil dependence and transition to a more sustainable future. Then encapsulate these images into your favorite art form, or just a simple note, and add that to this petition. We'll deliver your comments and images to Detroit and Tokyo. We want Bill Ford, Rick Wagoner, and the other CEOs to truly grasp what's at risk... and to respond.

We need this! This is a bare minimum of what we need to be doing. The most important thing we can do is population control. No more than 2 children per household and mandatory abortion policies in all countries. Human overpopulation is the biggest problem we face, not the kind of cars we are driving.

Something needs to be done, come on this is our EARTH we are talking about here. Think about your Children and Grandchildren what kind of lives will they have in the future if there is a future, things arent looking good at all. God put us on this earth to respect and protect it yet we, YOU are destroying it. Trust me if you make eart friendly cars you will most definitely sell them. We want earth friendly cars, no more pollution, no more oil dependancy its all wrong and causes destruction and even war. I would buy a solar powered car if there were one at a REASONABLE price ofcourse. Its not about the money anymore its about possible human distinction. I want to live and I want my children to live and enjoy a good life, how about you or is money more important than love and human life.

We just bought a brand new Toyota because they are more efficiant than American made vehicles. American auto makers need to catch up with the rest of the world.

The market demands clean cars, yet US automakers failed to provide them. Now they are facing financial struggle. But they can still change their course.

It is the right thing to do. The only people who buy big gas guzzlers are those with insecurities. While you are at it STOP making cars that reach over 175 mph.There isn't any need for speed, unless you are in a high speed chase.

For the sake of our planet and our childrens' future our cars must become zero emission vehicles. The technology is already here...NOW YOU, THE AUTOMAKERS MUST TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR EARTH.
