2009 Smart Fortwo parked in front of the Pacific near San Francisco - $11,990 to start and 36 mpgUS combined on the 08 EPA.
In celebration of the Smart Fortwo’s first year in the US, Smart USA will plant a tree in honor of every vehicle sold in 2008. In partnership with American Forests and Daimler Financial Services, Smart will plant approximately 25,000 trees in the Cache River State Natural Area, located in southern Illinois. Smart plans to continue this initiative for every vehicle sold in 2009 as well. This partnership not only celebrates the Smart Fortwo owner, but also helps the environment.
In addition to great fuel economy, the Fortwo is up to 95% recyclable, and is certified as a SmartWay vehicle for its low air pollutant and greenhouse gas scores by the EPA. The Smart Fortwo leaves a small carbon footprint on the American landscape.
American Forests, the country’s oldest non-profit citizens’ conservation organization, is a world leader in planting trees for environmental restoration, a pioneer in the science and practice of urban forestry, and a primary communicator of the benefits of trees and forests. Since 1875, American Forests has been working to create healthy forest ecosystems for every community. smart USA will be planting the trees as part of the American Forests' Global ReLeaf campaign, which is dedicated to planting native trees in rural and urban ecosystem restoration projects across the United States and around the world. The Cache River State Natural Area project will create large blocks of historic hardwood bottomlands that support neotropical migratory birds. It will provide high-quality swamp and wetland habitats for more than 100 species listed as threatened or endangered, such as river otters, little blue herons, and the Indiana bat.
