November 2008 : Environmental Transport Association
http://www.eta.co.uk
This month we look at energy efficient transport with the UK's biggest charity for transport and the environment, offering a wide range of services the Environmental Transport Association website is well worth a look.
"The Environmental Transport Association (ETA) was established in 1990 as an ethical motoring organisation and sustainable travel lobby group.
"The ETA is now Britain’s largest charity focused on transport and the environment.
"Our aim is to raise awareness of the impact of excessive car use and help individuals and organisations to make positive changes in their travel habits.
"We are a not-for-profit organisation – our sustainable transport campaigning and environmental projects are funded by the revenue from the services we provide and donations from individuals. "
October 2008 : Make Cars Green
http://www.makecarsgreen.com
The The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) set up the 'Make Cars Green' campaign in October 2007.
"Make Cars Green is an international environmental campaign, aimed at reducing the impact of motoring on our planet.
"Building on the principles outlined in the FIA Make Cars Green declaration, unanimously adopted by the FIA’s General Assembly, Make Cars Green outlines how policy makers, industry and consumers can all play a constructive role in the future.
"Make Cars Green brings together all aspects of the FIA’s work from encouraging consumers to go green, to representing our members’ ecological concerns towards government and manufacturers, and the introduction of environmental initiatives into motor sport.
"Make Cars Green aims to encourage radical rethink in the way cars are considered in society by being at the forefront of encouraging considerate and ecologically sound mobility.
"As part of its own commitments and responsibilities as the representative of the mobile consumer, on World Environment Day 2008, the FIA launched a leaflet outlining the FIA’s 10 points for greener motoring which gives motorists 10 easy steps to reduce their impact on the environment. The leaflet is being distributed throughout the world through the FIA’s network of member clubs."
