REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportList some of the places you frequent often (work, grocery store, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?
Lisa Forgues 4/09/2019 3:43 AMI realized a co-worker lived just a few miles from me. I approached this co-worker with the suggestion of carpooling and the many benefits of doing so. They agreed. We now carpool to work every day.
