Companies join forces to save the environment

Dennis Barkman President
of the B.C. Automobile Asso
ciation and Bill Duncan, Pres
ident and CEO of Mohawk Oil
Co. Ltd. today announced a
new cooperative credit card
Program that will save money
and help the environment

BCAA members will save
two per cent of every purchase
made at Mohawk stations and ~
Stop N’'Shops, using the new
BCAA/Mohawk credit card,
and once a year the savings
will be credited to their BCAA
membership renewal

“By offering this incentive
to BCAA's 675,000 members,
we see a tremendous potential
benefit to the environment. If
all of these motorists fill up
with our ethanol-blended
gasolines they will be doing
more than choosing cleaner-
burning fuels, they will be
investing in a cleaner environ-
ment

Ethanol-blended gasolines
reduce harmful exhaust emis
sions by up to 20 per cent,
decreasing smog le vels and
the greenhouse effect,” said
Bill Duncan

“We believe that corpora-

tions have an important role to
play in preserving the environ-
ment, and Mohawk is a natural
partner for our environmental
efforts,” said Dennis Bark
man

“We encourage environ
mentally responsible motor-

ing, and that includes choos.
ing re-fined motor oils and
ethanol-blended gasolines.”

Mohawk's ethanol-blended
fuels are the only gasolines in
Western Canada with permis-
sion to use Environment Cana:

Applications for the new
credit card will be available
through all BCAA and
Mohawk outlets by late
