Czech term or phrase: jezdíme ekologicky
Jde o reklamní slogan tramvají, trolejbusů atd. čili jediné co mne napadlo je : "we run on environmental drive", ale když to vygoogluju, tak nic. Napadá vás prosím něco jiného?

We Drive Green and Clean / We Are Green and Clean
Explanation:
Green and Clean (alebo Green & Clean) je moderný slogan pre označenie niečoho ekologického. Navyše sa aj rýmuje, takže sa výborne hodí do reklamných a marketingových textov.

Environmentally friendly vehicle


Explanation:
Advertising slogans are part of the creative delivered by a marketing company - and that depends on their brief and other things... My suggestion is to translate with a slogan I've seen on buses here, which also have the same purpose - promote the transport company as one that cares for the environment by buying environmentally friendly vehicles...
