Clif Bar – a California-based environmental advocacy company that makes energy bars – is paying cash to employees who buy cars that run on biodiesel.
According to a company release, Clif Bar is paying 5-thousand dollars to employees who switch to 100 percent biodiesel for their commutes. The company also offers the same incentive for hybrid vehicles and other incentives for less petro-fuel usage.
Clif Bar company officials say the “Cool Commute” program is designed to encourage employees to rely less on fossil fuels in their commutes, so that “we can make a difference as a business when it comes to …global warming.”
