One of the best ways of reducing your carbon footprint is by carpooling. This is a great way for groups of people heading in the same direction at the same time, to commute together by sharing a ride.
carpooling in apartment
Why carpool?
Compared to driving alone, carpooling in apartment is beneficial in many ways, including saving money and resources, fuel, parking charges, vehicle maintenance and of course, making sure everyone arrives at their destination on time. It also minimizes the number of vehicles on the road. Environmentally, it reduces the emission of greenhouse gases that harm the atmosphere and cause pollution.
Considering the traffic issues and difficulty commuting, carpooling could well be the solution to getting to work on time and can eliminate the frustration related to transportation. With the number of apartment complexes on the rise, roads are becoming more and more congested. It can be very frustrating to wait at traffic signals. If you live in an apartment complex that is in the outskirts of the city, the commute to the city becomes very tasking.
Besides the above, carpooling in apartment is a great way to bond with other residents in your apartment complex and grow into a strong community.
Why many people don’t carpool
The main hindrance towards carpooling is that most employees usually do not have a fixed time to leave office. That makes it difficult to coordinate and arrive at a common time for carpooling. However, with a bit of planning regarding work schedules, a common time for leaving office can be arrived at.
