As often occurs, California’s recent regulation requiring environmental impact labels on new cars, has been adopted beyond that state’s borders.  The first state in New England to adopt this rule is Vermont.  Similar to California, the rule requires the label to indicate both a “global warming” and a “smog” score for each every new car.

Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Jonathan Wood explains, “These new labels will make it easy for Vermonters to choose cleaner vehicles while comparing fuel efficiency.  Vermont is still the greenest state in the country but our largest output of greenhouse gas emissions comes from transportation.”
