Millwoods Honda

Honda builds today's green vehicles and now this trusted Edmonton, Alberta dealership is growing tomorrow's green forests with us through their successful Create A Forest Campaign! 

What started as a one month event in January 2010 has grown into a multi-year campaign to restore forests in Alberta.

Since 1976, customers have trusted Millwoods Honda with their vehicle needs. They have earned this honour by consistently exceeding expectations in every facet of the customer experience, including environmental considerations. Now, Millwoods Honda has partnered with us to create a forest for their customers.

Through their partnership with us Millwoods Honda purchases Carbon Plus Credits to ensure that each customer who buys a vehicle or services their Honda at the dealership can have one or more trees planted and cared for on their behalf via the dealer's Create A Forest Campaign. For example, each Carbon Plus Credit purchased from Dad's Forest is equivalent to the planting of approximately three lodgepole pine trees. Each tree balances the emissions from driving about 2000 km.

Representatives from the dealership even came to visit some of the thriving trees on our family's farm and finish planting a new forest, John's Forest, with us in July 2010. Check out the video here and the pictures here!

Thanks to our partnership, as of April 30, 2011 Millwoods Honda has supported:

• the planting and care of 1,478 trees;
• the creation of 9,328 square meters of forest;
• the offseting of 507,354 kilograms of CO₂eq emissions;
• reducing emissions equivalent to the burning of 214,976 litres of gasoline; and
• the contribution of $507.35 to community causes via our Community Fund.

You can also see a listing of Our Offsetters, which shows that Millwoods Honda has purchased the appropriate number of Carbon Plus Credits from Dad's Forest and John's Forest.

We are very proud of this partnership with Millwoods Honda, in part because their products have been setting the standard in environmental performance for years! In 1975 the Honda Civic CVCC engine was the first engine to meet the low emissions standards of the U.S. Clean Air Act. 1999 saw the introduction of the first gasoline and electric hybrid vehicle, the Honda Insight.

Currently, all Honda vehicles meet or exceed federal, provincial, or state emissions standards in North America. Most of our current line up achieves a Tier 2 bin 5 rating, with the Honda Insight at Tier 2 bin 3 and the Honda Civic Hybrid rated at Tier 2 bin 2. In the spring of 2010 Honda will release the third hybrid to our line up, the sporty two seater Honda CRZ.

Honda consistently raises the bar for innovation. Whether, it was the introduction of the first Honda four stroke engines in 1958, or the first Honda hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the FCX Clarity in 2007. Innovation in safety and performance are thoughtfully put together in a fun to drive package.

These are to mention but a few of the accomplishments Honda has achieved in its ongoing commitment to our environment. Millwoods Honda is proud to be a part of Honda’s continual efforts to improve the cars we drive and to provide “Blue Skies for Our Children, (Mr. Soichiro Honda, 1966).”
