Honda Teaching Youngsters to be Environmentally Friendly
I've bought two cars in my life and oddly (maybe not that odd) I based much of that decision on the company's corporate philosophy. Honda has long been one of those auto companies I've identified with. They've made it clear they don't want to be the next GM, Ford or Toyota. They're interested in creating technology to better the lives of everyone and how that ultimately ties into their corporate business plans can be left open to debate. Point is, they're actually practicing what they preach and one of the things they have always preached is to be environmentally friendly.
They have an awesome program down in Alpharetta, Georgia called the Environmental Learning Center that gives off-roading instruction to kids. But these kids get more than learning how to carve on a dirt bike. They walk away conscious of how their off-roading activities affect the environment and learn how to ride motorcycles and ATVs in a safe manner without destroying our precious planet.
Although it can be argued getting rid of off-roading altogether solves one part of the problem but Honda realizes that's not going to happen. It's a recreational activity that is becoming very popular amongst kids so why not teach them how to ride safely and environmentally friendly in the hopes that once they grow up, they'll apply those lessons to their every day lives.
