FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	CONSUMER INFORMATION: CONSUMER REPORTS PUBLISHES AND DISSEMINATES INFORMATION AND ADVICE TO CONSUMERS REGARDING TOPICS SUCH AS CONSUMER GOODS, SERVICES, HEALTH AND PERSONAL FINANCE IN ORDER TO EFFECT IT'S EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE. THE NUMBER OF PAID SUBSCRIBERS FOR EACH AS OF 5/31/21 INCLUDE CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE 3,074,597; CONSUMER REPORTS ON HEALTH 565,157; AND CR ONLINE 2,930,279. CONSUMER REPORTS DOES NOT ACCEPT OUTSIDE ADVERTISING IN ANY OF ITS PUBLICATIONS. IN ADDITION, CONSUMER REPORTS DISSEMINATES CONSUMER INFORMATION THROUGH OTHER PRINT, RADIO, TELEVISION, ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING AND INTERACTIVE MEDIA. PRODUCT INFORMATION: CONSUMER REPORTS CONDUCTS INDEPENDENT AND IMPARTIAL TESTS AND ANALYSES ON A WIDE RANGE OF CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, SUCH AS ELECTRONICS, APPLIANCES, HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS, INSURANCE, RECREATIONAL GOODS, AND CARS. THE TESTS AND SURVEYS EVALUATE HOW THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PERFORM AND EDUCATE CONSUMERS ON THE EXTENT TO WHICH THEY ARE CONVENIENT, SAFE, AND ECONOMICAL. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED 5/31/21, CONSUMER REPORTS CONDUCTED TESTS AND EVALUATIONS ON MORE THAN 2,100 MODELS OF VARIOUS CONSUMER PRODUCTS, MAKING USE OF ABOUT 60 LABORATORIES AND ITS AUTO TRACK. THE INFORMATION GATHERED AS RESULT OF THESE TESTS IS DISSEMINATED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B	EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY PROGRAMS: CONSUMER REPORTS IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE LIVES OF CONSUMERS AND CREATING A FAIR AND JUST MARKETPLACE FOR ALL OF US. WE ARE AN INDEPENDENT, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WITH 6 MILLION MEMBERS ACROSS THE U.S. CR SEEKS TO INFORM AND EMPOWER CONSUMERS TO ESTABLISH A NEW ERA OF CONSUMER RIGHTS. IN THE 85 YEARS SINCE CR WAS FOUNDED, WE HAVE BUILT A LEGACY OF TRUST AMONG CONSUMERS BY CONDUCTING EXPERT RIGOROUS SCIENCE-BASED TESTING OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, INCENTIVIZING CORPORATIONS TO PRIORITIZE SAFETY AND TRANSPARENCY, AND HELPING POLICYMAKERS ENSHRINE THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF CONSUMERS IN LAWS AND REGULATIONS. WE PROVIDE TRUSTED INFORMATION THROUGH TESTING, RATINGS, AND REVIEWS; SURVEYS, REPORTS AND ANALYSES; AND INVESTIGATIVE AND SERVICE JOURNALISM - ALL OF WHICH IS DISSEMINATED THROUGH MULTIPLE DIGITAL AND PRINT PLATFORMS THAT REACH MORE THAN 15 MILLION PEOPLE EACH MONTH. THE PUBLIC CAN ACCESS SUBSTANTIAL FREE CONSUMER EDUCATION INFORMATION AS A PUBLIC SERVICE THROUGH CR.ORG, CR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, WEBINARS, PARTNERSHIPS WITH 170 ENGLISH AND SPANISH LOCAL TV STATIONS, AND MEDIA COVERAGE. THESE COMBINED EFFORTS LEVERAGE CONSUMER DEMAND TO SHAPE A PRO-CONSUMER MARKETPLACE, AND WE ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH INDUSTRY TO SET STANDARDS AND PROMOTE SAFETY, DIGITAL RIGHTS, FINANCIAL FAIRNESS AND SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES IN THE DESIGN AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. CONSUMER REPORTS' LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO EDUCATING CONSUMERS AND ADVOCATING FOR LAWS, POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT BENEFIT CONSUMERS IS EXEMPLIFIED BY OUR FY 21 (JUNE 1, 2020 THROUGH MAY 31, 2021) ACCOMPLISHMENTS, SOME OF WHICH INCLUDE: SAFETY: - MAJOR NEW SAFETY STANDARD APPROVED FOR INFANT SLEEP PRODUCTS THE U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION (CPSC) APPROVED A NEW FEDERAL RULE THAT WILL ENSURE THAT PRODUCTS MARKETED OR INTENDED FOR INFANT SLEEP WILL PROVIDE A SAFE SLEEP ENVIRONMENT FOR BABIES UNDER 5 MONTHS OLD. BEGINNING IN MID-2022, ANY PRODUCT INTENDED OR MARKETED FOR INFANT SLEEP MUST MEET A FEDERAL SAFETY STANDARDS REQUIREMENT THAT DOES NOT EXIST TODAY. THE RULE WAS DRAFTED IN FY21, AND FINALIZED IN THE FIRST DAYS OF FY22. THIS LANDMARK RULE COMES AFTER YEARS OF WORK BY CR, PEDIATRICIANS, AND OTHER SAFETY ADVOCATES TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THE DANGERS OF INFANT SLEEP PRODUCTS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED WITHOUT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. MORE THAN 100 INFANT DEATHS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH INCLINED SLEEPERS, AND AT LEAST 23 DEATHS ARE LINKED TO UNREGULATED FLAT SLEEP PRODUCTS, INCLUDING IN-BED SLEEPERS, ACCORDING TO A CR ANALYSIS AND DATA FROM THE CPSC. THE PUSH FOR A SAFETY RULE WAS ACCELERATED BY CR'S INVESTIGATION OF DANGEROUS BABY PRODUCTS, WHICH LED TO THE RECALL OF 5.6 MILLION INCLINED SLEEPERS IN FY19 AND FY20. CR SHARED FINDINGS WITH RETAILERS SUCH AS AMAZON, BUY BUY BABY, EBAY, AND WALMART, WHICH EVENTUALLY AGREED TO HALT SALES OF INCLINED SLEEP PRODUCTS IN FY21. THOUSANDS OF CR MEMBERS WROTE THE CPSC AND CONGRESS IN SUPPORT OF SAFETY STANDARDS, AND CR ADVOCATES WORKED WITH THE CPSC TO HELP SHAPE AND ADVANCE THIS HISTORIC RULE. CR PROVIDES CONSUMERS WITH FREE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THESE INFANT SLEEP PRODUCTS, AS WELL AS THE EXPERT ADVICE PROVIDED BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS ABOUT THE STEPS THAT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS CAN TAKE TO HELP ENSURE SAFE SLEEP FOR THEIR BABIES. - CR EXPOSES PFAS CHEMICALS IN TAP WATER, WORKS TO REMOVE PFAS FROM WATER, FOOD, AND AIR 97.5% OF TAP WATER SAMPLES TESTED BY CR HAD MEASURABLE LEVELS OF PFAS, A GROUP OF COMPOUNDS KNOWN AS "FOREVER CHEMICALS" BECAUSE THEY DON'T NATURALLY BREAK DOWN. PFAS ARE LINKED TO LEARNING DELAYS IN CHILDREN, CANCER, AND OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS. THESE FINDINGS WERE PART OF A YEAR-LONG EXAMINATION OF THE NATION'S WATER CONDUCTED BY CR AND THE GUARDIAN US. WE SELECTED 120 PEOPLE AROUND THE NATION, OUT OF A POOL OF MORE THAN 6,000 VOLUNTEERS, TO TEST THEIR TAP WATER FOR PFAS, ARSENIC, LEAD, AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS. THEIR SAMPLES CAME FROM WATER SYSTEMS THAT TOGETHER SERVE MORE THAN 19 MILLION PEOPLE. CR IS NOW PROVIDING FREE INFORMATION FOR CONSUMERS ON HOW TO CHECK, TEST, AND FILTER THEIR WATER FOR PFAS, AND WE ARE WORKING WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO PASS THE BIPARTISAN "PFAS ACTION ACT." THIS BILL WOULD HELP MINIMIZE HARMFUL EXPOSURE TO THESE CHEMICALS BY REQUIRING STRICT STANDARDS TO KEEP PFAS OUT OF OUR AIR AND WATER, AND IT WOULD FACILITATE THE CLEANUP OF CONTAMINATED SITES THAT POLLUTE COMMUNITIES AND ENDANGER PUBLIC HEALTH. CALIFORNIA RECENTLY BECAME THE SEVENTH STATE IN THE NATION TO BAN PFAS IN FOOD PACKAGING. CR MOBILIZED CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS TO CONTACT THEIR STATE LEGISLATORS AND URGE THEM TO VOTE "YES" ON THE BAN. - CR PUSHES TO RAISE THE STANDARDS FOR FURNITURE SAFETY 11,300 CHILDREN WERE TREATED IN HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS FOR INJURIES RELATED TO FURNITURE TIP-OVERS EACH YEAR, ON AVERAGE, BETWEEN 2017 AND 2019, ACCORDING TO THE CPSC. CR HAS TESTED DRESSERS FOR STABILITY SINCE 2018. OUR TESTS SHOW THAT SOME DRESSERS POSE A SERIOUS TIP-OVER RISK, WHILE THERE ARE STABLE CHOICES AVAILABLE AT A VARIETY OF PRICE POINTS. MANUFACTURERS HAVE ONLY A VOLUNTARY STABILITY STANDARD, WHICH CR HAS ASSESSED AS TOO WEAK, AND A SHOPPER CANNOT JUDGE WHETHER A DRESSER IS LIKELY TO TIP OVER BY SIGHT OR PRICE. CR IS WORKING WITH PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO WERE KILLED IN TRAGIC TIP-OVER INCIDENTS TO URGE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO RAISE THE STANDARDS FOR FURNITURE SAFETY. WE CELEBRATED A WIN IN FY21 WHEN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PASSED THE STURDY ACT, A BILL TO CREATE A MANDATORY NATIONAL RULE FOR FURNITURE STABILITY. CR CONTACTED COMPANIES TO URGE THEM TO ENDORSE THE STURDY ACT, AND RETAILERS SUCH AS HOME DEPOT, IKEA, AND AMAZON CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL. WE'RE NOW FOCUSED ON GETTING THE STURDY ACT APPROVED IN THE SENATE AND SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE PRESIDENT.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B (CONTINUED)	DIGITAL RIGHTS: - STATES APPROVE LAWS TO SAFEGUARD CONSUMERS' DIGITAL PRIVACY THREE U.S. STATES HAVE NOW PASSED DATA PRIVACY LAWS, AND CR HELPED GET THESE MEASURES TO THE GOVERNORS' DESKS. COLORADO AND VIRGINIA APPROVED LAWS IN 2021, FOLLOWING THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT SIGNED IN 2018. THESE LAWS PROVIDE LOCAL RESIDENTS WITH THE RIGHT TO ACCESS, DELETE, AND STOP THE SALE OF THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION, AND THEY REQUIRE CONSENT FOR PROCESSING SENSITIVE INFORMATION. CR ADVOCATES TESTIFIED BEFORE THE LEGISLATURES TO RECOMMEND WAYS TO GIVE CONSUMERS MORE CONTROL OVER THEIR PRIVACY. CR MEMBERS IN THESE STATES CONTACTED THEIR LOCAL LEGISLATORS IN SUPPORT OF PRIVACY PROTECTIONS. THE COLORADO AND VIRGINIA LAWS ARE NOT AS STRONG AS CALIFORNIA'S, AND CR IS ADVOCATING FOR IMPROVEMENTS BEFORE THE TWO LAWS TAKE EFFECT IN 2023. CR ALSO HELPED PASS CALIFORNIA'S PROPOSITION 24 TO CLOSE LOOPHOLES IN ITS LAW. THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE CITED A CR REPORT ON HOW SOME COMPANIES WERE MAKING IT HARD FOR CONSUMERS TO EXERCISE THEIR PRIVACY RIGHTS, AS THE STATE TOOK ACTIONS TO BETTER ENFORCE THE LAW. ULTIMATELY, CR WOULD LIKE TO SEE A NATIONAL PRIVACY LAW THAT PROTECTS THE DATA OF ALL CONSUMERS. - CR AIMS TO HELP REIN IN "BIG TECH" SO CONSUMERS HAVE MORE CHOICE, POWER IN A NATIONALLY-REPRESENTATIVE SURVEY CONDUCTED BY CR IN 2020, 61 PERCENT OF U.S. CONSUMERS FAVORED STRONGER GOVERNMENT ACTION INCLUDING NEW LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND ENFORCEMENT TO DISCIPLINE THE BIGGEST TECH PLATFORMS AND REDUCE HARMFUL CONDUCT. THIS CR SURVEY WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE U.S. HOUSE ANTITRUST SUBCOMMITTEE IN A MAJOR REPORT THAT LAID OUT HOW LARGE ONLINE PLATFORMS HAVE ENGAGED IN ANTICOMPETITIVE PRACTICES. THE REPORT DETAILED HOW FOUR FIRMS -- APPLE, AMAZON, FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE -- HAVE, IN THE REPORT'S WORDS, "DELIVERED CLEAR BENEFITS TO SOCIETY" BUT THEIR "DOMINANCE HAS COME AT A PRICE." THE REPORT STATED THAT THESE FIRMS "WIELD THEIR DOMINANCE IN WAYS THAT ERODE ENTREPRENEURSHIP, DEGRADE AMERICANS' PRIVACY ONLINE, AND UNDERMINE THE VIBRANCY OF A FREE AND DIVERSE PRESS. THE RESULT IS LESS INNOVATION, FEWER CHOICES FOR CONSUMERS, AND A WEAKENED DEMOCRACY." IN ADDITION TO SPOTLIGHTING CR'S SURVEY, THE REPORT CITED COMMENTS FROM CR ON THE SCOPE AND IMPACT OF THESE PROBLEMS. CR IS NOW WORKING WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ADVANCE BIPARTISAN BILLS THAT AIM TO REIN IN BIG TECH COMPANIES SO CONSUMERS HAVE MORE CHOICE AND POWER ONLINE. - WORKING FOR BETTER BROADBAND AT A FAIR PRICE FOR ALL CONSUMERS 76 PERCENT OF AMERICANS AGREED THAT INTERNET SERVICE IS AS IMPORTANT AS RUNNING WATER AND ELECTRICITY, ACCORDING TO A 2021 CR SURVEY. BUT UNLIKE WATER AND ELECTRICITY, INTERNET ACCESS ISN'T TREATED LIKE AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES. CONSUMER DATA SHOW HOW THE PRICE OF INTERNET SERVICE CONTINUES TO RISE, WHILE INTERNET PROVIDERS ARE LARGELY UNREGULATED, AND MANY AMERICANS ARE STRUGGLING TO GET ONLINE BECAUSE THERE'S NO AFFORDABLE OR RELIABLE BROADBAND WHERE THEY LIVE. THIS PROBLEM IS ESPECIALLY SERIOUS GIVEN HOW THE ONGOING IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC HAS FORCED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO WORK, LEARN AND STAY IN TOUCH WITH OTHERS ONLINE. THAT'S WHY CR LAUNCHED "LET'S BROADBAND TOGETHER," A NATIONWIDE INITIATIVE TO UNCOVER WHAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY PAYING AND GETTING FOR THEIR INTERNET SERVICE, SO WE CAN FIND SOLUTIONS FOR BETTER, MORE AFFORDABLE BROADBAND FOR ALL OF US. THIS EFFORT WAS ORGANIZED WITH A BROAD COALITION OF PARTNERS IN FY21 AND OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN FY22. SO FAR, MORE THAN 50,000 CONSUMERS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN "LETS BROADBAND TOGETHER," WHICH INCLUDES AN ONLINE TOOL FOR PEOPLE TO TEST THEIR INTERNET SPEEDS AND SHARE THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH THEIR INTERNET PROVIDERS. CR IS GATHERING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CONSUMER BILLS TO ANALYZE THE FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT THE PRICE AND AVAILABILITY OF BROADBAND. CR WILL RELEASE ITS FINDINGS IN FY22, AND WE WILL SHARE THE DATA WITH COMPANIES AND POLICYMAKERS AS WE ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES THAT PUT CONSUMERS FIRST. FINANCIAL FAIRNESS: - NEW, NATIONAL LAW WILL PROVIDE CONSUMER PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS HUGE, UNEXPECTED MEDICAL BILLS CAN HAVE A DEVASTATING FINANCIAL IMPACT ON PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHEN THEY'RE MOST VULNERABLE. FOR DECADES, CR AND OTHER GROUPS HAVE CALLED FOR LAWS TO STOP SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS, LIKE WHEN A PERSON GOES TO A HOSPITAL THAT'S IN-NETWORK BUT IS SEEN BY AN ER DOCTOR WHO'S OUT OF NETWORK, AND THEN GETS HIT WITH AN ENORMOUS BILL. THE PERSONAL STORIES OF CR MEMBERS WERE ESSENTIAL IN ELEVATING THIS ISSUE WITH POLICYMAKERS AND GETTING CONGRESS TO HOLD HEARINGS ON THE PROBLEM. IN DECEMBER 2020, CONGRESS PASSED AND THE PRESIDENT SIGNED THE "NO SURPRISES ACT," A LANDMARK LAW THAT WILL PROHIBIT MANY OF THE WORST BILLING PRACTICES. THE CR-ENDORSED LAW GOES INTO EFFECT AT THE START OF 2022. CR CONTINUES TO PROVIDE FREE ONLINE INFORMATION TO HELP PATIENTS FIGHT BACK AGAINST SURPRISE CHARGES UNTIL THE LAW TAKES EFFECT. - CRACKING DOWN ON STUDENT LOAN SERVICER ABUSES, CREATING A NEW FINANCIAL WATCHDOG IN CALIFORNIA FOR TOO MANY FAMILIES, PAYING FOR COLLEGE MEANS GOING INTO DEBT THAT HAUNTS THEM FOR YEARS BEFORE IT'S PAID OFF. BORROWERS FACE A COMPLEX, CONFUSING LOAN REPAYMENT SYSTEM PLAGUED BY A LACK OF CONSUMER PROTECTIONS AND SHODDY TREATMENT THAT CAN ADD TIME AND MONEY TO THEIR LOANS. STUDENT LOAN DEBT IN THE U.S. TOTALS $1.73 TRILLION AND GROWS SIX TIMES FASTER THAN THE NATION'S ECONOMY. CR HELPED PASS TWO MAJOR INITIATIVES IN CALIFORNIA TO ADDRESS THE STUDENT DEBT CRISIS AND OTHER FINANCIAL CHALLENGES. FIRST, THE STATE CREATED A NEW CONSUMER WATCHDOG CALLED THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL PROTECTION AND INNOVATION (DFPI). CR HELPED DESIGN AND LAUNCH THIS AGENCY WITH A MISSION TO STOP FINANCIAL SCAMS AND ABUSES, AND PROVIDE RELIEF FOR IMPACTED CONSUMERS. ONE OF DFPI'S AIMS IS TO HELP PROTECT THE 3.7 MILLION BORROWERS IN CALIFORNIA WHO OWE ALMOST $125 BILLION IN STUDENT LOAN DEBT. CR ALSO CO-SPONSORED THE STATE'S NEW STUDENT BORROWER BILL OF RIGHTS, WHICH PROVIDES THE NATION'S STRONGEST CONSUMER PROTECTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH STUDENT LOANS. THE LAW AIMS TO STOP LOAN SERVICING ABUSES THAT CAN MAKE DEBTS GROW MORE COSTLY AND TRIGGER DEFAULTS. BOTH OF THESE REFORMS PROVIDE POWERFUL MODELS FOR OTHER STATES AND THE NATION TO FOLLOW. - CLEANING UP THE CREDIT REPORT SYSTEM ERRORS ON YOUR CREDIT REPORTS CAN LOWER YOUR CREDIT SCORE, LEAD TO HIGHER INTEREST RATES ON LOANS, AND EVEN PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING A JOB OR RENTING AN APARTMENT. CREDIT ERRORS CAN INCLUDE ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN PAID OFF BUT APPEAR UNPAID ON YOUR REPORT, INDIVIDUAL LOANS LISTED MULTIPLE TIMES, OR DEBTS THAT ARE INCORRECTLY REPORTED IN COLLECTIONS. NEARLY 6,000 CONSUMERS VOLUNTEERED TO GET THEIR CREDIT REPORTS AND CHECK FOR ERRORS FOR A CR INVESTIGATION IN FY21. MORE THAN A THIRD OF THE VOLUNTEERS TOLD US THEY FOUND AT LEAST ONE ERROR. MANY PEOPLE ALSO REPORTED HAVING DIFFICULTY OBTAINING THEIR FREE CREDIT REPORTS ONLINE, WHILE OTHERS SAID THEY WERE UNFAIRLY CHARGED FOR SERVICES. CR IS NOW PETITIONING THE THREE MAJOR CREDIT BUREAUS -- EQUIFAX, EXPERIAN, AND TRANSUNION -- TO CALL FOR INDUSTRY REFORMS TO ENSURE REPORTS ARE FAIR AND ACCURATE. CR IS ALSO PUSHING FOR LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS THAT WOULD HELP CLEAN UP THE CREDIT REPORTING SYSTEM, AND GIVE CONSUMERS 24-HOUR ACCESS TO THEIR REPORTS AND SCORES AT NO CHARGE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B (CONTINUED)	CLIMATE-ENERGY-SUSTAINABILITY: - CR INTRODUCES "GREEN CHOICE" TO HELP CONSUMERS FIND CLEAN CARS AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS CR LAUNCHED A NEW PRODUCT RATING CALLED "GREEN CHOICE" TO HELP SHOPPERS FIND THE CARS, SUVS, AND MINIVANS WITH THE CLEANEST EMISSIONS. WHEN PEOPLE CONSULT CR'S VEHICLE RATINGS, THE "GREEN CHOICE" LEAF ICON TELLS THEM WHICH MODELS HAVE THE LOWEST GREENHOUSE GAS AND SMOG-FORMING EMISSIONS. THE GREEN CHOICE RATING ENCOURAGES AUTOMAKERS TO MAKE CLEANER CARS, JUST AS CR'S AUTO RELIABILITY AND OWNER SATISFACTION INFORMATION HELPS MOVE THE INDUSTRY TOWARD PRODUCING SAFER, HIGHER-QUALITY VEHICLES. CR RECENTLY EXPANDED OUR GREEN CHOICE RATING TO WASHING MACHINES TO HELP PEOPLE IDENTIFY THE MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY CHOICES. - CR WORKS FOR CLEAN CAR STANDARDS AT THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL CR IS ADVOCATING FOR STRONG STANDARDS FOR CLEANER CARS WITH BETTER FUEL ECONOMY AND FEWER EMISSIONS, WHICH CAN HELP CONSUMERS SAVE MONEY ON GAS AND MAINTENANCE, WHILE REDUCING CLIMATE POLLUTION. IN FY21 CR PRODUCED A SERIES OF STUDIES THAT SHOWED HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S FUEL ECONOMY AND GREENHOUSE GAS STANDARDS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS FOR CAR BUYERS AND HEALTH BENEFITS FOR THE GENERAL POPULATION. THESE STUDIES SHOWED HOW A 2020 GOVERNMENT DECISION TO ROLL BACK THESE STANDARDS WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT CONSUMERS. NOW IN FY22, CR IS PROVIDING TESTIMONY AND ANALYSIS FOR A NEW SET OF GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDATIONS TO UNDO THE ROLLBACK AND PUT STRONGER STANDARDS IN PLACE.
