Clean Car Campaign > Global Warming

THE BIGGEST SINGLE STEP that the United States can take to curb global warming and save oil is to raise the fuel economy of our cars and light trucks. By making our cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs go farther on a gallon of gas, Americans can save billions of dollars, curb global warming pollution, and slash our dependence on oil — making our nation safer and more secure.

The Sierra Club's Clean Car Campaign is putting pressure on automakers to use current technology to build cars and trucks that will move America towards energy independence, save consumers money at the pump, and curb global warming.
