On 4 June 2010, Reverse the Effect, brisbanetimes.com.au, Channel 9, 4BC Radio and Ford Australia, teamed up to offer Queensland motorists the opportunity to win a brand new Ford Fiesta ECOnetic - Australia's most fuel-efficient car¹ valued at over $26,000*.

The competition was launched to raise awareness about how motorists can help drive environmental action in Queensland through Reverse the Effect.

For only $59 a year, Queenslanders can now fully offset the greenhouse gas emissions from their family sedan under a new Bligh Government program.

Climate Change and Sustainability Minister Kate Jones and Transport Minister Rachel Nolan today launched the 'Reverse the Effect' program during the Queensland Climate Change Summit at Parliament House.

With the help of a template and a high pressure water sprayer an advertising message is cleaned out of the dirt. The result is a high impact message and a cleaner street.
