31. Ich bin ein KLIMAKILLER

(Quelle: Deutsche Umwelthilfe) Berlin - Die Klimakatastrophe steht vor der Tür: Immer wärmere Sommer wie Winter und immer extremere Wetterkapriolen sind die deutlichen und beängstigenden Vorzeichen von globaler Erwärmung und einer drohenden Klimakatastrophe. In diesen Zeiten sind Fahrzeuge wie große und schwere Limousinen und SUVs, die unnötig viel CO2 in die Atmosphäre blasen nicht mehr zeitgemäß.

Zeigen Sie Ihrem Nachbarn, Ihren Freunden die "Rote Karte" und bringen Sie sie zum umdenken. Der Aufkleber "Ich bin ein Klimakiller" ist das Mittel der Wahl - er soll Autos kennzeichnen, die besonders Klimaschädlich sind und deren CO2-Ausstoß mit 210 g / km bereits heute weit über dem Durchschnitt liegt.
