AAA of Northern California: A Green Light in the Smog?
Credit Where Credit Is Due?
Hmm...A Response to Better World Club??? (We'd Like to Think So, Of Course.)
AAA created the highway lobby over 100 years ago--at a time when the highway lobby may have been necessary. But, as a whole, AAA's practices haven't changed much, despite the mounting urgency of global
climate change and the need for transportation reform.
However, one AAA club is making an effort to clean up its act: AAA of Northern California.

They Even Have A Rare Photo of BWC CEO Mitch Rofsky Wearing a Suit!
By Lee van der Voo
Portland Tribune
A Friday protest in Northeast Portland underscored a critical debate now raging in Congress: whether auto manufacturers' concerns about new federal emission standards should outweigh those of American consumers - and states like Oregon -

Better World Club Passes 20,000 Member Mark!
We Know That Size Isn't Everything - But it Helps
Better World Club, the nation's first and only environmentally-friendly auto club, signed up its 20,000th member earlier this month and - in combination with our 80%+ renewal rate - keeps on growing. Nearly half of our
new members come to us via word-of-mouth, so we literally couldn't have achieved this landmark without the help of our morally upright and impeccably hygienic members.
The larger our member base becomes, the larger the 1% contribution of our gross revenues to the environment will become, and the more effective our policy efforts will be.
We encourage our 20,000-plus members to keep spreading the word about Better World Club, and we'll keep doing our part to change the auto club industry.
