Irish Green Party Leader Gets Hybrid
Ireland’s Green Party leader and Minister of State for Food Trevor Sargent took one step closer to practicing what he preaches today when he picked up the keys to his brand new Toyota Prius.
He bought the car through a charity auction on EBAy. The €7,000 he paid for the car will go directly to 15 Galway charities.
“I am glad that the sale of this car is minimising the impact of CO2 emissions on the environment and is helping 15 charities picked by Cllr O Brolcháin at this year’s mayoral ball,” Mr Sargent said.
Mr. O’Brolchain, the man who sold the car, said “it’s important that the Green Party act on their beliefs and show that it is possible to make real changes to help the environment. This is one of the most environmentally friendly cars on the market. I welcome that Minister Sargent has chosen to lead the way, and I would call on other Ministers in other departments to follow his decision.”
He was extremely excited to see his auction become a smashing success.
