It’s simple: If you clean up vehicle emissions, you cut down on carbon pollution. (In a big way!)
Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US. In fact, cars and trucks alone account for over one-quarter of all US emissions. It’s got to change.
Americans want it to change. Nearly 90 percent of Americans want automakers to continue to improve fuel economy – leading to less emissions – and support strict government standards, according to a recent Consumer Reports survey.
The Obama Administration listened and worked with automakers like Ford Motor Company to develop ambitious but achievable fuel efficiency standards for new cars and trucks that would prevent 6 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. Even better, these standards would save American families $1.7 trillion in fuel costs.
Ford was part of the solution. But now the company is pulling a U-turn and working with President Trump and his cabinet of Big Oil insiders to roll back these critical standards.
We say no way.
Add your name to ask Ford and other automakers to defend existing vehicle emissions standards and keep us moving forward in the fight against the climate crisis.
