Petition update, 12 August 2009

More details from petition creator

The government's car scrappage scheme is being described as green because it will destroy older vehicles, but many 10-year-old cars have plenty of life left in them; from a climate perspective, to send them to the scrap heap is money poured down the drain. This petition proposes replacing it with a ‘pounds-for-pedals’ scheme to give cyclists £100 to spend on a new bicycle, but in contrast to the car scrappage grant the traded-in bike would not be destroyed but shipped to the developing world to be re-furbished and re-used.
