But home also is where the car is. People often call the places they frequent — their office, classroom, or the house of a relative or friend — their “home away from home.” For those who don't own an automo- bile, this may be true; but those who own a car also own a second home. From home to car It is difficult to leave habits from home inside of the bouse; they seem to follow people directly to the sta- tion-wagon, hatchback, van, jeep etc., and sometimes remains there.

Through its “General Motors Environ- mental Principles” GM provides guidance to its employees in the conduct of their daily busi- ness. These principles reaffirm more than three decades of environmental policy and the quest for continuous improvement. Pioneering GM research over many years has resulted in numerous scientific advances, including the development of the catalytic converter, recog- nized as the most effective means to reduce vehicle emissions. Since the pre-emission control era, environmentally-conscious engineers have helped GM to substantially cut exhaust emis- sions from new cars and trucks, with hydrocar- bons and carbon monoxide down 96 per cent and nitrogen oxides down 76 per cent from uncontrolled levels. New tailpipe emission stan- dards scheduled for introduction in 1994 would reduce these emissions even further. Coupled with these initiatives are commitments to-elim “nating Chiorofiuorocarbons (CFCs) in vehicle air conditioners by fall of 1994 and reducing CFCs in manufacturing processes as quickly as possi- ble. GM has spearheaded the auto industry's efforts to phase out their use. GM of Canada wag the first auto manufacturer in this country to provide Its dealers with CFC recycling units to prevent freon being vented into the atmo- sphere during routine servicing of vehicle air conditioners. CFC leak detectors have also been made available to dealers. in North Amer- ica, General Motors pioneered the use of waterbome paints, which release fewer solvent emissions than traditional paints. These paints are now used in state-of-the-art paint shops in the Oshawa Truck Assembly and the Ste. Therese Car Assembly Plants. Reducing waste and reusing or recycling materials, whenever and wherever possible throughout its offices and operations, has become policy and gener- al, daily practice for GM of Canada personnel.
