Plastics have long played an important role in helping to make cars lighter and more fuel efficient, but many consumers may not realize the extent to which plastics have revolutionized the vehicles they drive every day. To communicate how plastics help make possible the modern design, safety, and fuel efficiency of cars, Plastics Make it PossibleSM, an initiative sponsored by the plastics industries of the American Chemistry Council, has partnered with the Green Car Journal to announce the 2010 Green Car of the Year® and conduct the “Green Car Ride & Drive” at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. The show takes place December 4-13 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
