Are You a Stinky Commuter?

G.G.'s not asking whether you bathe prior to the daily work commute but is wondering how you commute. For awhile, I did my part to make the air a little cleaner, I carpooled. I admit to not carpooling these days but may reconsider since the VFg3 gals just got the results of the office survey. Results will be shared appropriately over the coming months but a little more than half of the organization's employees said they'd carpool to work.

Think of carpooling this way:
1. Let's you bond with your co-workers (so make sure you take that shower in the morning, or at least freshen up).
2. Can save you money. If carpooling properly, you're sharing the rides.
3. Fewer carbon emissions are stinking up the air because fewer people are driving to work.

Other alternatives to carpooling:
1. Public transportation. Bus passes are cheap and if you live in a city with a commuter rail, even better! Just think of all the people you can meet!
2. Ride a bike. G.G. spots a bicyclist each day on the morning commute. Is five miles really that far to ride a bike?
3. Hoof it. Pack the stilettos in a backpack and lace on good ambling shoes to walk to work. Like the bicyclist, G.G. spots a few hikers to and from work each day. Walking does a body and mind good.

And here's something to chew on, according to the Commuter Services of North Florida site, vehicles are the source of 1.5 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases each year. Now that's a lot of gas making stinky air!
