My congratulations to Turners Car Auctions. They're doing their bit for sustainability – right now, they will sell your deregistered car for free. http://www.turners.co.nz/VehicleScrappingInitiativeFAQ/tabid/370/Default.aspx
Apparently there's strong demand for old bombs from wreakers & Turners are very confident your car will sell. The scheme is really similar to a UnitedFuture policy that would pay $200 to car owners to get their rust buckets off the road. I guess we were thinking ahead of our time! The only downside to Turners promotion is its lifespan – it only runs from now until the end of January 2008.
On a broader theme: if we're to avoid the nastier effects of climate change, then this is the kind of thing that needs to happen. Governments can't fix it all. Change needs to happen from us the people and that includes buinesses.
