Demand Car Companies Shift Gears - Support Improved Fuel Efficiency

Target: US Congress; US Automakers
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense
When Fortune 500 companies have called for national action, and new scientific evidence of global warming's toll is presented everyday, the need for a national cap on global warming pollution has never been stronger. 

In the United States cars and trucks emit 333 million tons of carbon dioxide each year - more than a fifth of our nation's global warming pollution. Yet, average fuel efficiency hasn't improved in more than 10 years.

Car companies need to do more.

Tell automobile makers to support efforts to cut America's global warming pollution by improving efficiency and supporting a mandatory, economy-wide, national cap on global warming pollution.

Dear [Automaker/Congressperson],

In a time when Fortune 500 companies have called for national action, and when the scientific evidence of global warming's toll mounts each day, the need for a national cap on global warming pollution has never been stronger.

Cars and trucks in the U.S. emit 333 million tons of carbon dioxide each year - more than a fifth of our nation's global warming pollution.

Yet, average fuel efficiency hasn't improved in more than 10 years.

Car companies need to do more.

I call on the leading automakers to join other industry leaders in the United States Action Partnership (USCAP) and support a mandatory, economy-wide national cap on global warming pollution.

Its time to make a change. We all know car efficiency can be improved. Its something that should have already been done years ago. Please don't delay any further and improve your product!

Everyone should do his or her part - including auto manufacturers.

Global warming is causing massive loss of potable water around the world. Unless global warming is curbed, there could be enormous harm to the American and global economy, as well as endangering global environmental sustainability.
