Seattle Fights Back Against Evil Car Sharing Scheme!
To make this totally clear, the title I just posted is completely sarcastic. Car sharing groups are our friends, and are friends to the planet. The fact that Seattle just passed a law forcing people who are saving money and reducing pollution to pay higher taxes, well we view this as a disgrace to a city who is supposed to be the “greenest” city in the nation.
What is Car Sharing?
Car sharing is a system where instead of buying your own car, you pay a membership to a company that gives you temporary access to a vehicle. This has many benefits, from reduced costs, to less cars being purchased and parked on the roads, and less subsequent pollution.
Why Do We Care?
We inherently believe in sharing. This is the basis for our entire company, and we believe it has incredible potential to change the world. We DO NOT believe that the government should discourage these beneficial environmental practices with additional taxes and fines. The next thing you know they will tax you for recycling, or maybe you should pay additional fees for placing solar panels on your homes.
