REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT!

Save up all of your errands and shopping trips so that you need to drive fewer times.

Here’s what WE can do to help reduce our carbon footprint:

By choosing to carpool 2x a week, one can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1,600 pounds per year.

Traveling in more fuel-efficient vehicles can helps reduce energy consumption and lower CO2 emissions.

Transportation requires burning fossil fuels for energy, releasing CO2 and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, causing climate change.

Vera Gonzalez

Be cool and carpool!
