Ride Share

I believe that if everyone were to change at least one thing about their day to help the environment... we would increase our awareness of global warming due to carbon emissions. One example being ride share. Below are some suggestions for ride share. 6 sites all suited for different needs. KEEP OUR EARTH GREEN Y'ALL!! :) PEACE Tips from "The Lazy Environmentalist" One of the best ways we can reduce our environmental impact and save money is to share rides with other people going our way. Obviously, one car heading in a direction instead of two, three or four takes cars off the road and reduces our overall greenhouse gas emissions. Several companies have discovered how to make sharing a ride easy, fun, and even rewarding. In fact, these days whether you're looking for a ride to work, soccer practice, or a rock concert, cutting-edge ride sites ensure that there's a very good chance somebody else is going your way. Here are my top 6 recommendations for free ride sharing services that save you money. Zimride.com - Zimride is a ride-share service that takes advantage of Facebook, enabling members to create personal profiles and select ride mates who share similar music tastes, favorite sports teams, or who just seem "normal." Zimmers can also evaluate things like driving speed, music volume, and smoking preferences before agreeing to hop in. Find rides at Zimride.com or by using Zimride's Facebook application. GoLoco.org - Share rides to work, concerts, sporting events, or even the farmers' market using GoLoco. The company's website utilizes Facebook's social networking platform, enabling users to create personal profiles and choose compatible riding companions. The website also handles all financial transactions to remove the awkwardness of requesting gas and toll money from fellow travelers. Nuride.com - Nuride is an online ride sharing service with more than 28,000 members who receive reward points for sharing rides. The service operates just like an airline membership rewards program. The more rides you share, the more points you earn and the more value you can redeem. Partners include Applebee's, Austin Grill, Dunkin' Donuts, and Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. PickuPpal.com - Combine your ride sharing trips with package delivery to earn a little extra cash on the way. PickUpPal connects drivers, passengers, and packages heading in the same direction to consolidate trips and thus lower carbon greenhouse gas emissions. Available in locations throughout the world, PickupPal is also the ride sharing partner of the London Symphony Orchestra. RideAmigos.com - Connect with people going your way to share a taxicab or a car anywhere on Earth. Ride Amigos helps you lower your costs while conveniently getting you to your destination. Companies can use the service to help fellow employees coordinate trips together. Shareling.com - Connect with fellow travelers looking to share a road trip using Shareling's interactive maps that show available rides around the globe. It's the budget- and planet-friendly way to travel across Europe or to catch all the fresh snow powder runs between Banff in the Canadian Rockies and Taos in New Mexico. Hope that helps you get started with ride sharing.
