LKQX Lkq Corp. (MM)

LKQ Corporation (Nasdaq:LKQX), the largest auto and truck recycler in North America, is committed to preserving the environment through its recycling, energy reduction and reforestation efforts. For the third consecutive year, LKQ is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant an estimated 12,000 trees in U.S. forests. The Arbor Day Foundation has planted millions of trees since its inception and its hard work helps reduce greenhouse gases and provide essential oxygen. The 2012 LKQ GetGreen tree planting campaign will provide enough oxygen in one year for 48,000 people and reduce 250 tons of greenhouse gases.

To help build green awareness, LKQ will plant a tree for each customer who registers for the GetGreen promotion. "Last year we planted over 10,000 trees in Florida, and we hope to increase that number this year," said Laurie Garcia, VP Growth Initiatives & Marketing. On-line registration begins April 1st at www.LKQGetGreen.com and ends May 31st.

As part of the Sweepstakes, LKQ customers can enter to win hundreds of exciting "green" themed prizes including a new fuel-efficient Chevy Cruze automobile, Energy Star HD TVs, bicycles and energy saving lighting product by entering the GetGreen promotional code found on LKQ recycled, remanufactured and reconditioned products. 

"We are proud to once again partner with the Arbor Day Foundation to address the environmental issues that face us today," stated Garcia, "LKQ Corporation is committed to recycling and green awareness, and what better way to demonstrate this commitment than involving our customers in a tree planting program with the Arbor Day Foundation."
