25-SportingSustainability-5Things-Carpooling

Car rides are more fun with friends and are good for the environment, too! Not to mention that they can save you thousands of dollars every year.

Benefits of carpooling:

  • Car-sharing can save about $600 a month by commuting (dependent on distance covered).
  • The average American spends ~40 hours a year in slow-moving traffic. If everyone carpooled at least one day a week, road traffic would be reduced by 20%!
  • Carpooling twice a week can help reduce the 1,600 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions a car produces each year.
