What Is A Goodyear ECO-AUTO^®?

There are over 500 million cars traveling the world's roadways today. To live in today's world, consumers need to drive cars. Automotive transportation is the largest industry in the world. Our vehicles are a huge factor in the success of our economy, but in the wake of it all, the natural environment tends to be overshadowed. We all know that vehicles create pollution, but most people don't know what to do to stop it. Fortunately, we all can help to reduce that pollution. And that's where the Goodyear Eco-Auto program comes into play.

Goodyear's Eco-Auto Tips Programs educate and entertain consumers during drive time radio. These fun and practical shows are followed daily all across America by millions of listeners. So what is a Goodyear Eco-Auto? It's a vehicle that is well tuned, receives regular maintenance for better fuel efficiency and longer life, and properly recycles old tires, batteries and automotive fluids. Eco-Autos conserve natural resources and keep the environment clean, while saving money.

The Goodyear Eco-Auto Tips reach listeners while they are behind the wheels of their cars, which makes Eco-Auto an ideal medium for driving home national and local Goodyear advertising. Also, radio reaches more people than any other single medium and radio consumes very few of our natural resources. Eco-Auto Tips are now featured on over 2,000 stations on TWF's national radio network that means that a radio station in your local area plays Eco-Auto tips to your current and potential customers.

The WATER Foundation remains an industry leader in media education on conserving natural resources.
