Research my next car to make it as environmentally friendly as possible
What's your dream car? A speeding sports model? A guzzling 4x4? How about a compact electric city car? The car you drive says not only a lot about you but your commitment to reducing climate change. Small cars with lower energy consumption generally emit less CO2 and nasty fumes but the only way to know what's best for you is to research. Ask dealers for details on emissions and fuel efficiency and tell them how important to you it is. Your consumer power can make car manufacturers listen. Vote with your wallet.
