Each year, more than 15,000 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The disease, which can strike suddenly, has no cure. For more than 25 years, Ford has been involved in helping to find a cure.
A decade ago, Ford made a commitment to decrease our water use, setting a target of 3 percent year-over-year reductions. Since we launched our Global Water Conservation Initiative in 2000, our global manufacturing facilities have saved more than 10.5 billion gallons of water – a reduction of an impressive 62.4 percent. Water use per vehicle decreased by 44.7 percent from 2000 to 2009. But we realize there's a lot more we can – and should – do.
