An ethical choice for Woolworths?

Woolworths has always been a fairly heartless conglomerate, I thought, since they decided to demolish some bushland at Maleny to build a supermarket that nobody visits. However, this morning I was surprised when I went to fill up the Falcon and discovered 10% ethanol fuel with a short description next to the bowser on why they use the fuel. The price was cheaper too which is good considering my Falcon chews it up around the city.

A decision with heart

Strategically this is a good move for Woolworths because it shows that they don’t just bulldoze bushland they are prepared to invest (with Caltex I might add) in the distribution of cleaner burning fuels. So why is this a heart decision? Making a choice for the environment is jumping on the bandwagon but it’s still good to see it actually happening. This planet is suffering thanks to us so we need to do something about it. Industry leaders like Caltex and Woolworths have shown us the way and I think it’s interesting that they are out in front of the pack. Good on you.

A heart choice for Ford

I think Ford need to follow suit here. I have had some problems with my Falcon but one of the biggest that will stop me from buying another one when I trade up is the cost of fuel and the damage such a car can do to the environment. Something happened to be when I had kids I got soft. How about it Ford… make a Falcon that’s fuel efficient that runs of clean burning fuel? Surely we have the technology to do that now? C’mon give it a good ‘Aussie’ go.
