Our over reliance on cars endangers everyone from our sisters and brothers in the Third World to communities of color in the United States to everyone who takes a breath everyday, everywhere. Pollution from our primitive, gas-guzzling vehicles poisons the air, damages children’s lungs, leads to cancer and is a major contributor to Global Warming. The economy shudders with every increase in fuel costs. In LA, predominantly Latino, Black, Asian and white working class communities are reliant on under funded mass transit systems and are hard pressed just to get from home to work.
It’s time to take the "No Blood for Oil" slogan to the car corporations. People around the world are subjected to wars of conquest that are spurred by the quest for oil. Third World nations year after year suffer from severer floods, droughts and other extreme weather events—a result of rising temperatures primarily caused by gas emissions from transportation sources.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Using existing technologies, the auto makers could give us cars and trucks that would go much farther on a gallon of gas, which would improve the environment, the economy and public health. In addition, the more viable our mass transit systems are, the more cars we get off the road. Fewer cars mean fewer air toxics and pollutants in our children’s lungs and in our global environment.
Yet the auto companies refuse to increase the fuel economy of their vehicles. And public officials continue to resist calls for improving mass transit and regulating the auto industry. It’s time for this to end.
What You Can Do:
Join with bus riders, environmentalists, community activists, families, their children and others to send a message to the auto industry and local, state and federal governments. Demand they:
… Double the average car fuel efficiency by 2010
… Double LA MTA’s bus fleet to 5,000 and
… Cut by half the 8 million cars in LA to 4 million.
Join the call for no more business-as-usual.
