A huge way students can keep their carbon footprint low is by carpooling to school. Carpooling to school has so many pros and the only con is that you might sit discomfortably in a car with people you don't know, but that can also be a pro because it causes you to do something kids don't like doing these days, getting off their phone and starting a real conversation. As I said, there are only good things that can happen from carpooling to school. More people carpooling to school means MUCH less CO2 going into the air, which leads to a smaller carbon footprint and a much healthier lifestyle. Carpooling to school can also lead to faster transportation systems because so many less cars are on the freeway, which also leads to so much less gas being used and a so much more affordable way of transporting to school. So please, ask your older brother, older sister, friend, cousin, aunt, uncle, teammate, or anyone that lives in your neighborhood to carpool!

Carpooling is a great way to bring down your carbon footprint. Only one car would be producing CO2 when you’re driving with other people. Carpooling is also an opportunity to spend a little more time with your friends.  For me, travel was the biggest part of my carbon footprint, so I would love to find a way to bring that down and carpooling is a good start.

You could also use bike because it doesn't prodeces CO2 at all, plus it helps you to live healthier. I ride my bike every day to school and I think it is a good way to stop polluting Earth.

Carpooling is a good way to lower alot of our CO2. Personally, transportation was one of my highest CO2 uses. There are alot of pros that can come from carpooling. Certain thins like building a bond with the person your carpooling with and more. Also, I do agree with you with the fact that it may be a little may be a liitle crowded but I still believe carpooling would be agreat way to lower our CO2.

I agree with you because if everyone uses their car with one person in it that causes other people to drive. More cars equal more CO2. We already have enough cars on the road and it releases a large amount of CO2. If you have multiple people in your car you are taking those cars off of the road. You can also take public transportation as that is also the same thing as carpooling.

I agree, a very large producer of CO2 is commuting to and from school. When people carpool there are fewer cars coming to and from school. Fewer cars equal less CO2 being produced. Some people take this a step further by riding a bike, this produces no CO2. Riding a bike might not be an option for everyone though, not everyone lives within riding distance to school. An easy way to carpool/ reduce your CO2 emissions in the morning is to just ride the bus to school. The bus is the same thing as carpooling because it eliminates a car and reduces the level of CO2 being released.

This is a great Idea and one that I use very frequently. I often carpool to school with my cousin and Have been for a while now. Cars that burn fossil fuel are a big contributor to climate change and when I get a car I hope to car pool often.

I never thought about carpooling to school until now. I go by friends house everyday on the way to school, and it would be smart of me to just pick them up on the way. It would save a whole trips worth of carbon. I believe if more students started doing this we would see a huge difference in that portion of our carbon footprint.
