Save a Car to Save America's Parks: Autotrader Partners with National Park Foundation for Earth Day 2017ATLANTA, April 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of Earth Day 2017, Autotrader is partnering with the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America's national parks, on a new initiative to raise environmental awareness and help benefit America's parks. As part of its Earth Drive campaign, Autotrader will donate $1.00 to the National Park Foundation, up to $50,000, for every eco-friendly car (31+ MPG or hybrid/electric vehicles) saved at http://autotradr.co/EarthDay from April 5-22. Saving a car on Autotrader through the "My Autotrader" personalized shopping feature puts the industry's most influential listing site1 to work directly for the car buyer by monitoring the car 24/7, making it easier than ever to find the right deal. Whether a car shopper is online or not, Autotrader keeps an eye on saved cars and will send email or text alerts with important details like if a price has dropped, if there are new incentives offered like cash back rebates, 0% financing and more, providing immediate notification if the deal has gotten even better. "Car shoppers visiting Autotrader over the next few weeks have a unique opportunity to help make a positive impact for America's treasured national parks quite literally with the push of a button," said Jessica Stafford, vice president of marketing, Cox Automotive Media. "We know Earth Day is a time when people examine the choices they make in their day-to-day lives and consider how they can better conserve and preserve, and for car shoppers this means adding environmentally friendly vehicles to their consideration sets. Autotrader's Earth Day 2017 partnership with the National Park Foundation encourages car shoppers to be more environmentally conscious as they consider their next vehicle purchase." When it comes to 'green' vehicles, the list of choices grows longer each year, from subcompacts to minivans to SUVs to luxury vehicles. While a hybrid or electric car may be ideal for some, other shoppers may be looking for a more traditional gasoline-powered car that get better-than-average mileage. Autotrader understands the varying needs and budgets of car shoppers, so their experts have several resources to help people figure out which eco-friendly ride is best for them, including Green Car Shopping Tips and Here Are the 10 Electric Vehicles with the Longest Range. "We are grateful to partners like Autotrader for raising awareness and support for America's national parks," said Stefanie Mathew, vice president of corporate partnerships at the National Park Foundation. "This partnership will help protect the national parks we all love, make it possible for more people to experience them, and inspire the next generation to care for these treasured places."
