Why don't we just carpool?


On an average, each household owns two cars, some own even more. Yes we all like our comfort but we should also think about the little ways we can help save the environment. A simple act of carpooling can help!

Have you ever seen the traffic congestion heading into Port of Spain? It's terrible and frustrating at times! I am sure in our streets and villages there are several of us heading in the same direction on a daily basis but prefer to use our own vehicles for comfort rather than carpooling.

There are several reasons to carpool:

  • Reduce traffic congestion
  • Save on gas
  • Reduce the amount of emissions (reduce air pollution)- allowing a healthier life 
  • Allows social interaction
Remember, for each person in a carpool there is one less vehicle on the road spewing out pollution and harming our environment. We need to analyse ourselves and make a concerted effort to change. 

"Make a change, lets start carpooling!"
