Vanpool and the environment

1 Metric Ton of CO2 Visualized. Roughly the size of a house.
Here is 1 metric ton of CO2. The average commuter produces 4.6 Tons of CO2 per year!

Choosing alternative forms of transportation is about more than just saving you money and helping to reclaim your lost time; it's about each of us doing our part to help the environment. Vehicle emissions during the peak commute hours of 6am to 10am are one of the leading causes of pollution in our area. Vehicle emissions, combined with the intense rays of the sun, help to create ozone and other harmful compounds.
