Increasing travel costs, petrol costs, CO2, congestion on the roads...I could go on and on! <br /><br />On my part, I really cant afford a "green", so I carpool on all my long distance trips to compensate. I was a little apprehensive to do this in teh beginning but I came across blablacar, where there were some measures to build trust among carpoolers. <br /><br />Its been good so far, I save money on both petrol and the trip, I dont drive alone there by my carbon emission is reduced and all of us who carpool use one car instead of one each and help reduce congestion.<br /><br />To me carpooling seems to be the most immediate solution.Martin Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584098004903123739noreply@blogger.com
