# Being Green may earn VW some Green

#### By Matt Adams September 27, 2007

I have been waiting to see which car company would launch the first real green car campaign. Looks like VW has it. [http://www.vw.com/vwhype/carbonneutral/en/us/?adID=email:cnp01](http://www.vw.com/vwhype/carbonneutral/en/us/?adID=email:cnp01)
  
 Sure many companies are now making fuel efficient cars a regular part of their line up. VW’s have been Low emissions and high mpg for years. I remember when the new super beetle came out in the late 90’s with 60 mpg engines. Amazing.  
 VW has upped the bar for everyone else 2 fold.  
1. They are educating their drivers about carbon offset  
2. They are taking charge and footing the carbon offset bill for 1 year on each car they sell from now till the end of the year.  
 Is carbon offset the solution to global warming, probably not, but it is a great step forward, from a car company already dedicated to efficient vehicles.  
 Very Cool Stuff. I think this will be a great thing for VW, the industry, and VW’s customer base (old and new)  
 the end.
