Why worry about comparing Smog and Global Warming Scores when ALL new vehicles have gotten much cleaner?
Cars have certainly gotten much cleaner over time, however motor vehicles are still a big contributor to smog and global warming. This is because there continues to be a growing number of cars on California’s roads driving more miles every year. Right now Californians drive 825 million miles every day – producing 5.4 million tons of smog forming pollutants daily. With the introduction of the Environmental Performance Label in 2009, it is easy to compare emissions of vehicles and choose something cleaner. Buying vehicles with HIGH Smog and Global Warming Scores makes a tremendous difference in how much we pollute.
