7. Auto$mart - A New Point of View
Understand that the climate of the planet is being ruined by fossil fuel burning cars. While technology to lower the carbon footprint of our vehicles is a slow process with the automobile manufacturers, we can still do something about driving in a more fuel efficient manner.
The video series "Auto$mart – A New Point of View" informs Canadians about the environmental, safety and financial impacts of their driving, maintenance and vehicle-purchasing practices. The series consists of five episodes, each running five to eight minutes. Questions appear at the end of each episode. "Auto$mart – A New Point of View" follows four main characters from different backgrounds as they go through driver training. Each character comes to see an aspect of driving from a new point of view. The characters may not always agree with one another, but in the end they are all convinced that fuel efficiency is something every driver should think about.
