The Cool New Trend
Environmental friendly
The average American spends over 430 hours driving every year. In a single year, a passenger car emits around 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 600 pounds of carbon monoxide and consumes around 550 gallons of gasoline. This is only one single car.
To add to this, everyday there are fewer numbers of trees being planted and more numbers being cut down. Don’t you think it is time we all did something about the situation? Carpooling could be your step towards doing something for the environment
