If Gary Numan can do it then so can other drivers

Transform Scotland have welcomed the Scottish Government's 'Go Greener' campaign featuring Gary Numan.

Director Colin Howden said:

"We need to use many different ways to communicate the need to reduce reliance on the car. In the face of a continuing wave of car advertising, it's important that the message that the car is not always best be heard.

"Gary Numan is well-known for his liking for cars and planes – but if he now sees that the car is not always the best way to travel then that's good enough for us. I thought it was a bit mean of the Greens to attack the Government over what is clearly a well-intentioned effort."
