Rainforest Action Network

Autoworkers are the ones most impacted by the poor decisions of the auto industry.

Learn how we can break the auto industry's oil addiction and save jobs for American workers.

Mass production of fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid electric vehicles powered by clean, cheap, domestic electricity is one way to wean America off oil. Using existing technology to improve the efficiency of traditional internal combustion engines is another. There's no shortage of options that, if adopted, will pay huge dividends for the environment and the climate.

As an individual, you can help the environment by walking or biking rather than driving; and you can organize others to shift transportation patterns where you live and breathe. Through local organizing, we can convince local and state governments to implement transportation policies to reduce oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. It’s up to us to lead the way to a clean, safe future.
