REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Try CarpoolingList 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?
Sara Mitchell Jebaily 4/04/2019 6:29 AMWork, grocery store, home. Yes, I do this almost every day. My husband and I ride to school/work together. Since he has to stay late, I ride the bus home. We save on emissions, gas, and mileage....and money!
