The staff here at Clean Wisconsin is thrilled to tell you that we have been selected as a finalist in Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good Program. This means we have a 1 in 5 chance to win a Toyota Prius on May 16 that will help us reduce our impact and carry out our statewide work more affordably.
As you may know, our staff is constantly traveling the state to carry out meetings, educational efforts, and on-the-ground projects aimed at cleaning our air and water. If we won a Prius from Toyota, our current budget for rental cars of over $15,000 would instead be delegated to achieving real impacts for our air and water. We think that is pretty awesome. But we need your help!
Your role is simple: Please vote for Clean Wisconsin on May 16 in the Toyota 100 Cars for Good Program, and then tell your friends and networks to do the same!
Before I get into the details of the best ways to do so, here are two good reasons to vote for Clean Wisconsin:
1. Based on average fuel economy stats for the U.S. car fleet (about 22mpg), switching to a car with truly high fuel-economy like the Toyota Prius will reduce the carbon footprint of our driving by over 5 TONS of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
2. Simply put, getting this money back in the organization’s pocket will help us accomplish our mission of protecting Wisconsin’s air and water.The money Clean Wisconsin has spent on rental cars last year could have paid for a part-time staff person to organize educational events about clean air and water issues, two conferences to educate Wisconsin farmers of ways they can help clean our waters, or educational materials for residents, the media and candidates about how clean energy impacts our economy.
