The Auto Project

Overview

In 1991, under the direction of Governor John Engler of Michigan, the Council worked with The Chrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company,  General Motors Corporation, and the American Automobile Manufacturers Association to reduce the generation of persistent toxins in auto making. Since the car companies began to operate this program on an individual basis in 1995, car companies reduced discharges of Great Lakes persistent toxins by nine percent, Toxic Release Inventory substances by 57 percent and Industrial Toxics Program substances by 64 percent. The automakers now independently continue their pollution prevention efforts.
