Drive 55
Slow down, you’re moving too fast...Got to make the planet last !
Think Globally, Act Locally may be an old slogan, but it applies today more than ever. Many of us feel the urgency of responding to the dual crisis of global warming and peak oil. How can we take significant action TODAY?
The statistics are compelling. If every motorist in Vermont slowed down to 55mph on 65mph highways, in just one day, 25,000 gallons of fuel would be saved and 700,000 pounds of global warming pollutants wouldn’t be released. Imagine the personal and global savings over a month or year!
On an individual level, this means that your choice to drive 55mph versus 65mph would boost your fuel efficiency and reduce your global warming gases by at least 15%. In addition, you would save about $.30 per gallon on every $2.00 gallon of gas.
Drive 55 ’s goal is to encourage everyone to limit their speed voluntarily. A 55mph speed advisory could be part of a statewide commitment to take immediate and effective action on Global Warming. Become part of the groundswell and take this message to your legislators and the Governor.
