Better World Club : ウィキペディア英語版 | Better World Club The Better World Club provides services to motorists in the USA and supports organizations seeking to reduce the environmental damage done by automobiles. BWC, which describes itself as "the nation's only environmentally friendly auto club", offers a bicycle membership and caters to hybrid vehicle owners.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.betterworldclub.com/about/index.cfm )〕 Nationwide membership was just under 20,000 people as of June 2006. In comparison, the rival American Automobile Association has 53 million members nationwide. ==History== Better World Club was founded by longtime friends Mitch Rofsky and Todd Silberman. It began signing up members on June 4, 2002. Rofsky and Silberman grew up as friends in Ohio and each pursued separate careers related to environmental responsibility and travel before coming together to form Better World Club. The idea initially came from environmentalists who reported that AAA used anti-environment lobbying practices.〔Carpenter, Novella. (Better World ), ''MetroActive'' (''Car Culture'' column), November 30-December 6, 2005, retrieved January 31, 2007〕 When they approached Mitch Rofsky with the idea, he realized that there was an opportunity to successfully compete with AAA.〔Camozzi, Rosemary.
