Ford: Stop Warming the Planet
Ford: Until Ford Protects the Planet, I Pledge Not To Buy Ford Vehicles!
Ford vehicles create more global warming pollution than virtually any company in the world. In fact, "Some Ford vehicles create more daily global warming pollution than an entire family's home energy use." (Bluewater Network)
Yet, instead of improving to protect the planet, Bill Ford Jr. is breaking his promises. He reneged on his pledge to boost SUV mileage by 25%, and personally lobbied Congress against improving the nations fuel mileage standards. And despite promises to lead the industry towards sustainability, his companys vehicles are some of the least efficient in the nation. The 2003 Ford Excursion gets as little as 10 mpg!
By continuing to mislead consumers and the environmental community with eco-rhetoric and false promises, and by refusing to implement todays climate-friendly technologies, Bill Ford Jr. is maintaining the unfortunate 100-year old Ford legacy of global warming and oil dependence -- a legacy that jeopardizes our childrens -- and the nation's future.
Send Bill Ford Jr. a pledge tell him you wont buy a Ford vehicle (including Volvo, Mazda, Jaguar, and Land/Range Rover) until his company builds climate-friendly vehicles and convinces Congress to double the nations fuel mileage standards.
Your personal comments about the impacts of cars, trucks, and SUVs on global warming, air pollution, and oil dependence will make your letter more powerful when we deliver it to Mr. Ford.
Dear Mr. Ford,
YOUR COMMENT HERE
I regret to say that I can no longer in good conscience buy a car from Ford. I pledge not to buy your vehicles (including Volvo, Mazda, Jaguar, and Land/Range Rover) until they are built to be climate-friendly, and you convince Congress to double the nation's fuel mileage standards.
Ford vehicles create more global warming pollution than virtually any other company in the world. Despite that, you reneged on your pledge to significantly raise SUV fuel mileage, and you personally lobbied Congress against improving the nation's fuel mileage standards.
You have the ability to be a leader in your industry. Please create climate-friendly automobiles and make me proud to support your company.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
