Arnold Schwarzenegger has ditched his beloved $950,000 fleet of Hummer cars in a bid to save the environment. The actor-turned-California governor is devoted to the sport-utility vehicles for their "precision." He was the first person to own one of them in 1992 after persuading manufacturers to make them for non-army purposes.

But Hummers emit three times more carbon dioxide than a regular car - and after the State of California announced it was suing carmakers Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Honda, Chrysler and General Motors over greenhouse gas emissions, Schwarzenegger felt it was prudent to make the change.

Eco-aware campaigner Al Gore confirms, "Arnie has given up his Hummers."
