Cambridge, Massachusetts<\/a>, has become the first US city to mandate the placing of stickers on fuel pumps to warn drivers of the resulting dangers posed by the climate crisis.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The final design of the bright yellow stickers, shared with the Guardian, includes text that warns drivers the burning of gasoline, diesel and ethanol has \u201cmajor consequences on human health and the environment including contributing to climate change\u201d.<\/p>\n

The stickers will be placed on all fuel pumps in Cambridge, which is situated near Boston and is home to Harvard University, \u201cfairly soon\u201d once they are received from printers, a city spokesman confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe city of Cambridge is working hard with our community to fight climate change,\u201d the spokesman added. \u201cThe gas pump stickers will remind drivers to think about climate change and hopefully consider non-polluting options.\u201d<\/p>\n

The placement of the stickers follows an ordinance passed by Cambridge in January. The city has a target of slashing planet-heating emissions by 80% and offsetting the remainder by 2050, making it carbon neutral.<\/p>\n

Transportation, primarily the use of cars and trucks,\u00a0is responsible<\/a>\u00a0for more than a quarter of US emissions but there has been scant success in weaning Americans off their predilection for large, energy-intensive vehicles. Indeed,\u00a0a boom in SUV sales<\/a>\u00a0in the US threatens to cause a surge in emissions if national fuel efficiency standards are not tightened further.<\/p>\n

Warning labels similar to Cambridge\u2019s are already found in Sweden, although an effort to do likewise in Berkeley, California, was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

The simple text of the warning stickers is relatively staid compared to versions envisioned by climate campaigners. In a legal complaint lodged against oil giant BP, the environmental non-profit ClientEarth\u00a0included mockups<\/a>\u00a0that showed a forest on fire with a stark list of the disastrous impacts caused by global heating.<\/p>\n

More graphic, visceral warnings would influence people in the way that confronting pictures of gum disease and heart failure on cigarette packets\u00a0forced many<\/a>\u00a0to acknowledge the harm to health caused tobacco, advocates say.<\/p>\n

Jamie Brooks of the campaign group\u00a0Beyond the Pump<\/a>\u00a0said he pushed for warning text that read: \u201cContinuing to burn gasoline (or diesel) worsens the climate emergency, with major projected impacts on your health increasing over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLabels are designed to create a feeling like someone has broken a rule or violated a law,\u201d Brooks said. \u201cThis feeling, along with increased social pressure, like smoking labels, can translate to a collapse in trust for the current system, thereby increasing the public appetite for alternatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
