Tell Automakers Why You Want Green Cars Today

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.
To: the chief executives of the world's six largest automakers - DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Nissan and Toyota

Dear Automakers,

The attached photos, drawings, poems, and pleas represent the people, places, and things we most treasure who are jeopardized by a "business as usual" approach to energy use. Please pause and deeply consider what is at stake here, then show leadership in publicly committing to bring far more efficient vehicles to market.

Sincerely,

The undersigned
