What's green and has nothing to do with fixing a car?

Green travel off to a flying start

While whacking a fir in the firmament is the method du jour to attract
the tiny minority of well-informed Radio 4 listeners and even, it seems,
middle England to buying anything Climate Guilt-free, I was wondering
if there were any policies that addressed reduction of waste within the
automotive industry, and especially in the areas of reduction, reuse,
repair and recycling? Things like fixing stuff instead of just replacing.

I am aware of instances where this would be possible, and would
seem to confer more relevant benefits to the planet.
