Honda launches environmental concept The Honda Racing F1 Team has launched a new initiative to help raise awareness of environmental issues. In place of advertising and sponsor logos that have dominated F1 cars for decades, the RA107 F1 car will simply feature a huge image of the earth. The new livery is a call to action for fans, sponsors, customers and members of the public to help address global environmental issues. There will also be the opportunity for members of the public to have their names on the car. Via the website www.myearthdream.com fans can make a pledge to change their lifestyle to improve the environment and make a donation to an environmental charity. In return, their name will form a tiny individual pixel on the F1 car, which will help build the image of planet earth. Each name will be visible under a microscope on the car and on the website when making the pledge. Universal Music, the largest music company in the world, and Pepsico, via the Gatorade brand, are the first global brands President of Volvo of Oakville John Martins, left, President and CEO of Volvo Canada Steve Blyth and Vice President of Sales Peter Johnson pose in front of the new 2007 Volvo S80 Luxury Model that was unveiled at Volvo of Oakville, this past Saturday night.
