the more the merrier.

Just gotta drive? Make it a party by carpooling. Did you know that our good ol’ passenger vehicles in traffic make up a striking 40% of the pollution that contributes to the ground level ozone, most commonly known as “smog”? If there’s one thing that can make the biggest impact, it’s getting some of those cars off the road. Plus – you’ll make friends in your neighborhood! Carpooling has been said to provoke up to 100% more conversations than you have with just yourself. Tee hee. We all have busy lives and we know it’s hard to sync schedules with a mate for a ride, but every car counts. Make it your goal to share a commute – and a conversation – with someone next week. Feeling uber sexy? Start a vanpool. Many departments of transportation have vanpool programs that will easily hook you up with a vehicle and some ride buddies for sometimes no cost, saving you all even more money. Then, sit back and enjoy the ride.
