Philippe is working with the National Arbor Day Foundation to plant trees to offset the team’s carbon output—but his vision goes beyond the track.  He is partnering with EcoDrivingUSA—an educational organization backed by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg—to hold a series of events to educate people on how they can drive the cars they currently own in a more efficient manner.  He told Fox News, “You don’t have to have a hybrid car to get better mileage. You can have a big pickup and if you learn how to become an eco driver, you can increase your fuel mileage by up to 33 percent and drastically reduce your future emissions right now.”</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4B2554BB-7029-441E-B59C-348A3F0189BD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
