Fueling Change Please take a few minutes to learn what J&J is doing to reduce CO 2 emissions and protect the environment – and how you can help too.

Global warming You've heard the term "global warming" but what does it really mean?

Global warming Global warming means: Greenhouse gases, produced from the burning of fossil fuels, are building up beyond the Earth's capacity to remove them and, in effect, creating an extra-thick heat blanket around the Earth.

Global warming Global warming also means: Rising sea levels Changing precipitation patterns Altered local and regional climates Negative impact on forests, animals, crop yields, water supplies, human health… Global warming also means: Rising sea levels Changing precipitation patterns Altered local and regional climates Negative impact on forests, animals, crop yields, water supplies, human health…

Global warming The big culprit in global warming is excess CO 2 in our Earth's atmosphere.

What J&J is doing? J&J is reducing CO 2 emissions on a large scale in our operations around the world through: Installation of on-site cogeneration Involvement in renewable energy projects Purchase of green power and carbon offsets J&J is reducing CO 2 emissions on a large scale in our operations around the world through: Installation of on-site cogeneration Involvement in renewable energy projects Purchase of green power and carbon offsets For more information, go to 2006 J&J Sustainability Report2006 J&J Sustainability Report

Global Warming A prominent source of atmospheric CO 2 is gas-fueled vehicles.

What J&J is doing? We've set a goal for our fleet: Goal: To reduce emissions in the worldwide fleet by 30% by 2010 (compared to 2003) Current Global Target: 150 grams per kilometer Equivalent to: 36.4 miles per gallon gasoline 41.6 miles per gallon diesel 15.5 kilometers per liter gasoline 17.7 kilometers per liter diesel We've set a goal for our fleet: Goal: To reduce emissions in the worldwide fleet by 30% by 2010 (compared to 2003) Current Global Target: 150 grams per kilometer Equivalent to: 36.4 miles per gallon gasoline 41.6 miles per gallon diesel 15.5 kilometers per liter gasoline 17.7 kilometers per liter diesel

What Can You Do? Now the question is, what can you do to reduce your own driving-related CO 2 emissions? Click the forward button when you're ready Now the question is, what can you do to reduce your own driving-related CO 2 emissions? Click the forward button when you're ready

Question 1 If you could protect the planet by simply changing a few driving habits, would you do it? Say, for example, you could help by spending less time idling your engine… would you do that? Yes No

Idle less Sounds too simple to be true? No matter how fuel-efficient your vehicle, idling gets 0 miles/kilometers per gallon Just 10 seconds of idling can use more fuel than shutting down and restarting your engine Sounds too simple to be true? No matter how fuel-efficient your vehicle, idling gets 0 miles/kilometers per gallon Just 10 seconds of idling can use more fuel than shutting down and restarting your engine

Idle less So if you're not in traffic and you're going to be sitting still for a minute, turn off your ignition. For example: At drive-through windows When waiting for a passenger So if you're not in traffic and you're going to be sitting still for a minute, turn off your ignition. For example: At drive-through windows When waiting for a passenger

Question 2 If you could drive at a constant 60 mph (97 km/h), you would achieve optimal fuel economy. True False

Avoid excessive speed True. Most vehicles reach optimal fuel economy somewhere around 60 mph (97 km/h). Above these speeds, factors like wind resistance quickly start to drag down your fuel economy – as much as 7% to 23% True. Most vehicles reach optimal fuel economy somewhere around 60 mph (97 km/h). Above these speeds, factors like wind resistance quickly start to drag down your fuel economy – as much as 7% to 23%

Avoid excessive speed You're thinking that you can't possibly drive at a constant speed... True, but what you can do is: Avoid excessive speed Learn driving habits that save fuel at lower speeds You're thinking that you can't possibly drive at a constant speed... True, but what you can do is: Avoid excessive speed Learn driving habits that save fuel at lower speeds

Avoid excessive speed Of course, you know we're not saying you should even try to drive at 60 mph all the time. Always obey speed limits Of course, you know we're not saying you should even try to drive at 60 mph all the time. Always obey speed limits

Question 3 If you're prone to jackrabbit starts and stops when you drive, committing to more sensible driving habits can save you 5% to 33% on fuel. True False

No more jackrabbit True. Most of the time, you have control over how quickly you accelerate (speed up) and decelerate (slow down). This is a big factor in fuel economy True. Most of the time, you have control over how quickly you accelerate (speed up) and decelerate (slow down). This is a big factor in fuel economy

No more jackrabbit Let's start with rapid acceleration, as in bolting off the line the moment a light turns green. Increasing your speed requires energy The faster you increase speed, the more energy required The more energy required, the more fuel you burn Let's start with rapid acceleration, as in bolting off the line the moment a light turns green. Increasing your speed requires energy The faster you increase speed, the more energy required The more energy required, the more fuel you burn

No more jackrabbit Now for rapid deceleration, as in slamming on the brakes. Hard, fast braking is rarely necessary And it wastes all that energy you built up when you accelerated (gradually, of course) Now for rapid deceleration, as in slamming on the brakes. Hard, fast braking is rarely necessary And it wastes all that energy you built up when you accelerated (gradually, of course)

No more jackrabbit So, to save fuel and be a better, safer driver: Accelerate smoothly, gradually Scan well ahead as you drive so you spot traffic signals and potential hazards early Start slowing down early Brake gradually So, to save fuel and be a better, safer driver: Accelerate smoothly, gradually Scan well ahead as you drive so you spot traffic signals and potential hazards early Start slowing down early Brake gradually

Question 4 Keeping your car in good running order makes a big difference in your fuel economy. True False

Maintain your vehicle True. A few examples speak volumes: Maintenance ProblemIf Fixed, Fuel Economy Savings Up To Using wrong grade of motor oil2% Improper tire pressure3% Vehicle out of tune4% Clogged air filter10% Faulty oxygen sensor40%

Question 5 That's about it. There's not much more you can do to increase your fuel economy and reduce driving-related CO 2 emissions. True False

Do a little more False. There's plenty more you can do: Avoid rush-hour traffic whenever possible Pre-plan your trips to avoid wasted miles Use ride-sharing and mass transportation Walk and bike more And… False. There's plenty more you can do: Avoid rush-hour traffic whenever possible Pre-plan your trips to avoid wasted miles Use ride-sharing and mass transportation Walk and bike more And…

Do even more When it's time for a new vehicle, consider a hybrid. Save hundreds of gallons of fuel Eliminate tons of CO 2 emissions each year When it's time for a new vehicle, consider a hybrid. Save hundreds of gallons of fuel Eliminate tons of CO 2 emissions each year
