What is GM doing for the environment?
Did you know that GM cars and trucks are among the cleanest on the planet? In fact, painting a room with 4 litres of water-based latex paint actually creates more smog-causing emissions than driving a GM SUV from Toronto to Vancouver and back again. GM Canada has won more EnerGuide vehicle fuel efficiency awards than any other manufacturer, as well as winning back-to-back CAA Pyramid Awards for the E-85 Flex Fuel Chevrolet Impala in 2006 and its Car Heaven partnership with the Clean Air Foundation in 2007. GM is also the only automaker in Canada to voluntarily report facility-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and has been recognized as a Gold Champion Reporter by the Canadian Standards Association GHG Challenge Registry for the past 8 years. GM Canada has reduced GHG emissions by 45 percent since 1990, more than any other automaker with manufacturing facilities in Canada.
