Although I have moved on from looking at environmental factors in cars and focused more on storage especially for recreational living, I received an email back from Greenpeace, one of the most famous charities to focus on the environment. It reads:
Hi Ciara
Thanks for the email, my apologies for the delay, it’s great to hear that you’re studying how to improve car designs! As I’m sure you can imagine we receive a huge number of these requests from students all over the globe and as our campaigners are incredibly busy working on our current campaigns they are very rarely able to respond to questions like these.
It is quite possible that you can find all of the answers you need on our website as we have a huge wealth of resources there for you to use! Why not read through some of the posts at www.greenpeace.org.uk/climate (you may find the ‘search’ box in the top right corner helpful!) and for more in-depth questions please make use of our campaign reports here: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/publications/Campaign-reports/ We have worked on several car manufacturers inc VW - so it is worth searching for those blogs to see what we did and how that might inspire your designs.
As you may already know, Greenpeace is fiercely independent. We rely 100% on the support of individuals for everything that we do so it is of the utmost importance that we focus our energy, time and resources on our campaigns to drive positive change around the world. Thank you so much for your support and understanding.
Thanks once again for your interest in Greenpeace and good luck with your studies!
With best wishes,

Even though I have a different subject area I thought I would make note that they took the time to reply to me and recognised my email amongst the several they get every day.
