Zipcar is celebrating Earth Day with a new video that highlights the positive impact its million members have made on the environment, from the number of personally owned cars they’ve helped take off the road to the carbon emissions they’ve helped reduce.

Zipcar is thrilled to welcome Aidan Cardella as the new vice president of operations and strategy. Cardella joins Zipcar from Boston-based digital media company TVision, where he served as senior vice president of operations. He has also held leadership roles at ChoiceStream, including vice president of research and development, and chief product officer.

Today, Zipcar released the findings of a new study conducted by KRC Research, revealing that Americans are spending twice as much as they think on their personal cars.

Survey respondents reported spending $345 a month on their personal car, while a AAA survey shows they’re spending more than twice as much ($706 monthly).

Zipcar has launched its second annual #MAKEorBREAKweekend marketing campaign, encouraging new couples across the country to put their relationships to the test this weekend (Feb. 9 – 11) by going on their first road trip together. The campaign encourages road trippers to "make it or break it” before getting into the potentially messy gray area of Feb. 14.

According to a survey conducted by the car-sharing provider, more than half of Americans ages 18-34 feel that the first day or overnight trip is a good test of a new relationship.

Zipcar, a global car-sharing company known for its imaginative PR stunts, is unleashing a groundhog in Boston today. The stunt is part of the company’s national #DontHibernate campaign, which encourages people to break their winter routines and get outside.
