If you're concerned about
the environment, you may wonder what makes a new or used Honda "green"?
While conventional wisdom tells us that fuel-efficient cars are good for
the environment, there's more to the story than looking at fuel
efficiency estimates. While individual models may vary in their
eco-friendly benefits, it's smart to look at the car manufacturer as a
whole. Does the car manufacturer share your commitment to protecting the
environment? Here are a few ways that Honda Motors is making a
difference. Fuel Efficiency and Emissions
Honda Motors has consistently been recognised for its leadership in
the areas of fuel efficiency and emissions and has the awards to prove
it. For example, GreenerCars.org's Greenest Cars of 2012 list contains
four Honda cars (out of 12) including the Honda Civic Natural Gas, Honda
Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid, and Honda CR-Z. In fact, for the last 12
years, Honda cars have been featured on this list of greenest vehicles
every year except one. The Union of Concerned Scientists' Hybrid
Scorecard lists the Honda Civic and two other Honda cars (Insight and
CR-Z) as high scorers in its list of non-luxury cars. This scorecard
helps car buyers understand the environmental benefits of the different
hybrid models on the market. Recycling of Rare Earth Metals
Another way that Honda Motors is helping the earth is through its new
metal extraction program. In collaboration with Japan Metals &
Chemicals Co, Honda Motors is salvaging rare earth metals from
nickel-metal hydride batteries salvaged from used cars. Hamilton, St.
Catharines, and Ancaster car owners often require new batteries from
their local dealership's Honda service centre. When they turn in their
nickel-metal hydride batteries, the rare earth metals can ultimately be
salvaged, reprocessed, and recycled into new Honda parts. Zero-Waste
to Landfill Manufacturing In North America, Honda has improved
manufacturing processes with 10 out of 14 manufacturing facilities
having reached its zero-waste to landfill goal. What's the big deal?
These factories have the capacity to manufacture over three million
Acura and Honda cars each year. Less than one half of one percent of
manufacturing waste goes into a landfill. Everything else is recycled or
reused. Where to Buy a New or Used Honda When it comes time to
buy a "green" Honda, Hamilton, St. Catharines, Grimsby, Ancaster,
Niagara, and Stoney Creek car buyers have plenty of exceptional choices
at Sterling Honda. As far as used cars, Hamilton's Sterling Honda
features certified used Honda cars.For more info,Please visit recycled honda parts
Certification ensures that the pre-owned Honda still meets Honda's high
standards. For example, what if you buy a used Honda Civic that has
been improperly modified? It may not live up to its promise of fuel
efficiency and low emissions. Certification ensures that it does.
