Schumacher shows support for MAKE CARS GREEN


Seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher helped underline Bridgestone’s commitment to the FIA’s Make Cars Green program at an event held in collaboration with the Australian Automobile Association at the RACV City Club in Melbourne on Thursday March 25th  2010.
 
 
Bridgestone is a strong supporter of the FIA's global initiative, which educates and encourages motorists to think green before they drive to reduce the impact of cars on the environment.
 
Schumacher used the event to speak about some of the practical applications of Make Cars Green.
"Climate change is a world problem and everyone can play a role in bringing down vehicle emissions," Schumacher said.

"Simple actions such as checking tyre pressure, accelerating gently, only use air conditioning when necessary, don't idle you engine for long periods - these are all activities that do make a difference."
