We all need to act for the sake of our only life support system.
Involving over 2 million people this will cut around two million tonnes of CO2 in just one year.

Over two million drivers in Ireland will become daily aware of their responsibility to future generations.
The benefits are many.
Safer roads
Fewer deaths and catastrophic injuries,
Cleaner air,
A sensible transition to electric vehicles as they also use more power at higher speed.
Easily duplicated worldwide
It will very effectively cut imports of fossil fuel therefore keeping money in the national economy.
Strategically it will give more leeway to other sectors while they try to cut their emissions.
If duplicated worldwide it would involve a billion drivers contributing to the solution.
Carbon tax on fuel is neither effective nor just. It unfairly impacts those on lower income while sending the message that if you are wealthy enough it is alright to produce greenhouse gases.
As a former cab driver/ bus driver and ambulance driver I have in the past three years kept to 80km/hr driving all over Ireland and in Wales and it is not difficult. Check our website for testimonials from some of the over 1200 people who have taken the pledge to keep to 80km/hr on all roads already.
