North Miami Enlists Ethos FR(R) to Reduce City's Carbon Footprint
City to Use Ethos Fuel Reformulator in All Municipal Vehicles
(CSRwire) SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/14/08 -- Ethos Environmental, Inc.
(OTCBB: ETEV), a San Diego-based company, announced that as a leader of
the green effort in South Florida, the City of North Miami has recently
decided to make Ethos Fuel Reformulator a part of their environmental
plan. Following the results of a standard testing protocol, the decision
was made to use Ethos FR(R) in all of the City of North Miami's municipal
vehicles. Approval came from Mayor Kevin Burns and City Manager, Clarance
Patterson after the Ethos product performed beyond expectations in test
vehicles.
After treatment with Ethos FR(R), the City of North Miami's test vehicles
showed a 12% improvement in fuel economy, and use of the Ethos product has
been shown to reduce emissions up to 30% in similar testing. Thus a city
the size of North Miami -- which currently uses approximately 300,000
gallons of fuel per year -- can reduce its harmful emissions by
approximately 500 tons per year with the use of Ethos FR(R).
Mayor Burns has been an active participant in the City of North Miami's
growing green movement. Last year he participated in the 2007 Mayors
Climate Protection Summit in Seattle, WA taking part in a panel on
grassroots green initiatives. Burns is also one of more than 700 mayors
who have signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, committing
to reduce carbon emissions in their locality to 7% below 1990 levels, a
goal in line with the Kyoto Protocol.
Ethos FR(R) is an ester-based fuel reformulating product that reduces
harmful emissions while improving both fuel mileage and engine
performance. Ethos FR(R)'s ability to integrate easily with existing
fueling infrastructures makes it both an effective and realistic
pro-environmental step that can be implemented by municipalities of all
sizes.
Prior to the testing period, Walter Branch of EnviroSafe Enterprises, a
distributor of Ethos Environmental East, met with the City of North Miami
Public Works Director, Mark E. Collins and Fleet Superintendent, Clifford
Taylor to assess the emission reduction and fuel saving opportunities
available with the use of Ethos FR(R).
Ethos Environmental East has been working for over a year with Lee Mar
Building & Construction, a major excavating contractor in Fort Myers,
Florida. In partnership with the South Florida Water Management District
and Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission, Lee Mar recently completed work on
the Lake Okeechobee Project. With the use of Ethos Fuel Reformulator in
construction vehicles, Lee Mar experienced fuel savings between 8% and
10%, while opacity testing revealed more than a 30% reduction in
pollutants.
Also in Fort Myers, Ethos Environmental East has been working with Good
Wheels Bus Services to achieve a 10% improvement in fuel economy with the
use of Ethos FR(R). Ethos Environmental East and its representatives are
currently in negotiations with several municipalities and additional large
commercial companies throughout the State of Florida to improve mileage and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
