Honda decides to keep building green in the UK despite lack of carbon grants

The British government delivered quite the smack down to Honda recently when it decided not to award potential buyers "carbon grants" as incentives to buy green. Despite Honda knowing that this predicament would not improve the bottom line, company spokespeople say Honda will contine to build green in the UK and hope that both car buyers and the government will do the right thing sooner or later. 

A survey Honda conducted to bolster its cause said that 35 percent of the British population think the government is most responsible for getting motorists to drive greener cars, and 70 percent of asthma sufferers believe that the government is not doing enough to reduce traffic fumes.
