I’ll start by saying I work for AAA, and over the years we’ve seen articles that try to mislead good people about AAA’s environmental record.

So let me clarify AAA's position for you: AAA has supported mass transit/public transportation, clean air and recycling programs for years (get the details here: http://bit.ly/AAAenviro and here http://bit.ly/VyLQh). AAA also promotes eco-tourism and the reduction of auto emissions. You should note that when AAA supports a well built, safer transportation infrastructure this includes public transportation, pedestrians and cyclists. No one is left out. Find out more at http://www.AAAMakingAmericaStronger.com.

About auto emissions: AAA is in favor of finding alternative fuels, reducing vehicle congestion and reducing auto emissions. Some ideas, such as E15, have been proposed that sound great but could have a negative impact on vehicles (find out more here: http://bit.ly/NYYIe) and cost vehicle owners dearly for repairs. More research needs to be done on the long-term potential consequences of an increased ethanol blend in gasoline on vehicle engine performance, fuel efficiency and emissions. But when AAA encourages due diligence on these proposals, it gets vilified by some.

I know there is one motor club that uses environmental issues as a marketing ploy to get people to join, but AAA stands on its record of supporting safety issues for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. You can find out more about AAA’s safety advocacy efforts (also known as lobbying) here: http://www.AAA.com/publicaffairs.

Thanks for the information...........

If I joined and needed your services could I request a tow by a team of Percherons? If not, a personal tow by Mariusz Pudzianowski. auto insurance

The Better World Club's aim is simple-to have better and environment-friendly cars that will benefit both the society and the environment, that's why they tend to promote EVs and hybrids, and not to forget cars with auto parts that are made of environment-friendly materials.

That'd be green.

I became a Better World member this last month. I researched the heck out of them, bugged them w/ a lot of questions, ("I don't want to wait hours for help. How many tow companies are affiliated with you in this very rural area?" ) and they had all the right answers.( "3." I was happily surprised.) They were extremely polite and helpful with my inquiries.

I am soooooo glad not to be w/ AAA any more. NEVER liked their lobbying postions but...needed to be sure I wouldn't be stuck somewhere.

Great alternative and I am recommending to all my friends..."green" or otherwise.

It is amazing that people can get so creative with how to help the cause that we're all intersted in. I've not been a fan of AAA either but in the past felt that I had no alternative - I love that not only is Better World Club an alternative but it one that provides some benifit rather than just taking our money! I will check out what you're doing and will plan on signing up - thanks for doing your part Better World Club!!!

This sounds like a good idea. I personally am not a big fan of AAA - aside from being rude, they definitely could care less about the environment. I definitely will consider your firm as soon as my AAA membership expires. One question, are you thinking about branching out into the insurance world as well. That would be a great compliment to your product.
