A load of greenwash

Cycling along Edinburgh’s Seafield Road last week I saw two large government-sponsored billboards.

One said that driving at 50 miles an hour saves 10% of fuel compared to 70mph; the other showed money tinkling out of a car’s exhaust pipe at a red traffic light and exhorted drivers to turn their engines off when stationary.
