Recently I received some information on the "Retire Your Ride" program which is committed to improving air quality by recycling older, higher polluting vehicles. I would encourage you to visit their website at http://www.retireyourride.ca/ for more information!
A few interesting statistics taken from the Retire Your Ride Brochure:
~ In Saskatchewan there are over 294,000 1995 and older passenger vehicles on our roads!
~ Even a well maintained car that does not emit black smoke, and does not use much fuel, can still be a big polluter.
~ 75% of an average car's content by weight can be recycled.
~ 1995 or earlier model vehicles produce 19 times more pollution that of a 2004 or newer car.
