Once the footprint is derived, consumers can chose from among several options: "improve," which means driving a Mini; "check into a green motoring tip," which asks consumers to give out their e-mail address and receive tips on lowering their impact on the environment; or "go minimalist," which directs them to another Mini site, Miniusa.com/Minimalism.
