HONK if you're green

So how about that Cadillac Escalade hybrid Eli Manning chose for his MVP award? hmmm...it's a step in the right direction I guess.

Anyhow...
Austin city vehicles will shortly be running on alternative fuel. Don't expect any Cadillac hybrids, but city council just approved a multi-year contract that includes buying new vehicles that are compatible with alternative fuels to further implement Austin's Climate Protection Plan.

The plan, introduced by Mayor Wynn, aims toward fighting global warming by reducing greenhouse emissions. Surely, new city vehicles running on alternative fuels will help this fight. The city of Austin's goal by 2020 is to have all city facilities, fleets and operations completely carbon-neutral.
