The Arkansas Climate Awareness Project needs your help tomorrow!!!
Toyota is well known for developing hybrid technology for their popular Prius – and they've worked very hard to promote an eco-friendly/green image to consumers. Car owners who choose to buy a Prius or other hybrid car do so for many reasons, but the cars' high fuel efficiency is one of the most important – it's better for the environment and better for consumers. However, even as as you are reading this, national Toyota is fighting furiously to prevent higher fuel efficiency standards - even though its been 30 years since Congress last raised standards! Toyota has the technology to reach high fuel efficiency, it's a mystery whey they would try to defeat this important measure.
National Toyota is fighting legislation that would: Raise average fuel economy standards to 35 miles per gallon by the year 2020. - Save 1.2 million barrels of oil per day—more than twice what we import daily from Iraq. - Save consumers $25 billion per year at the gas pump – $900 for a family of four. - Reduce 206 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere per year. Meanwhile, Conway, Arkansas' Caldwell Toyota Scion is leading the way by building the first LEED/green public retail building! Take Action!
Tell national Toyota to stop blocking better fuel economy standards and join a Toyota owners press event and caravan at the state capitol on Thursday, October 18th, at 10am or at: www.TruthAboutToyota.com. If you are able to join us for this press event, we would ask that you RSVP to April at 501-733-9996 or info@arclimate.org.
