Company spokesperson: In lieu of redesigning our plants, our company recently launched an environmental protection campaign to buy and dispose of old cars, which are generally highly pollutive  Our plants account for just 4 percent of the local air pollution, while automobiles that predate 1980 account for 30 percent
Clearly, we will reduce air pollution more by buying old cars than we would by redesigning our plants
Because the company pays only scrap metal prices for used cars, almost none of the cars sold to the company still run.
