Eco-Cabs in DC
* Note related, earlier Eco-Limo post.
"In our view, being carbon-neutral isn’t enough, so enviroCAB offsets more pollution than it creates. enviroCAB will offset the pollution of two16 mpg standard taxi cab,s currently operating in Arlington County, for each taxi cab that enviroCAB puts in operation. This makes enviroCAB the first carbon-negative taxi service in the world."

Sept. 2007 Washington Post article on Enviro cabs in Virginia/DC, in connection with their Fresh AIRE program.
"The green taxi expansion is part of a county campaign known as Fresh AIRE, or Arlington Initiative to Reduce Emissions, which aims to cut production of greenhouse gases from county buildings and vehicles by 10 percent by 2012. County officials are seeking as many ways as possible to promote energy efficiency. Arlington recently added eight heavy-duty buses that run on natural gas and are equipped with bike racks. The county also recently certified 17 home building and remodeling projects as energy-efficient, thanking the homeowners at an awards ceremony. "
