Push-bike and public transport, surely. Work from home when not with customers, no need for commuting in the internet age.

To answer some of the above points - customers will be throughout the modern business community. Companies are increasingly recognising that good environmental performance makes good business sense, but need to recruit staff with the necessary skills to make progress with this.
To be fair to them, they will use public transport most of the time and won't be customer facing very often by working online etc, but on the occasions when they have to arrive somewhere by car, what should it be?

Whatever the car sharing scheme has available.

I don't think anyone has seen my car yet, despite travelling to customers for years. Would they even care?
Far more important that they deliver a good service. If they are successful and have the cash - big Merc/BMW/Porsche. If they'd rather take it as pay, then whatever they get a good deal on from the lease co.

Same here, in 13 years only 2 clients have ever seen my car and that was when I was giving them a lift to the railway station because it was raining and they were very grateful for the ride.

These guys are not actually in the environment industry, though, they are in the recruitment sector, so really does it matter? I used to recruit in the international capital markets sector, but I didn't drive a Porsche, and nor do many of my former customers, any more!

They shouldn't go anywhere by car; then they'll see how ridiculous it is to force modal shift on the rest of us. Only cars they should use should be taxis and even then when only every other PT choice is exhausted. After suffering extreme hardship, inconvenience and missed appointments hopefully these environmental recruiters will stop this sanctamonius nonsense and make sure the people they recruit live in the real world. As we are in a recession the less money is spent on pointless jobs the better so I suggest not to recruit any recruiters at all and save the environment by not sending them round the country looking for more pointless people to take up vital resources that could be spent on useful work ;-) perhaps they could go litter picking while they were out if they want to make some of the work purposeful? :-)
