Washington, DC -- As reported in The Hill, in congruence with the DC Auto Show, the Sierra Club released a video calling out Ford for their work with the Trump administration to roll back the clean car standards. The video, targeted to the DC region, is accompanied by a petition calling on Ford to support strong clean car standards.
In response, Andrew Linhardt Sierra Club deputy legislative director released the following statement:
“Ford may be trying to put on a good show, but behind closed doors, it has been working with Donald Trump and Scott Pruitt to roll back our single biggest defense against dangerous climate pollution. Ford’s claims of sustainability in its advertising and here at the auto show are nothing more than greenwashing. The ad exposes Ford’s smoke and mirrors and shows auto show patrons the reality of Ford’s climate hypocrisy. Rather than undermining them, Ford needs to put clean car standards in the fast lane, pushing to strengthen them to protect our health and our climate.”
