A week in carpooling

This week, I began a new energy conserving behavior by accident. I don't have a car on campus, and thus I am at the mercy of friends who do. On several occasions this week I have suggested carpooling as a way to get to rides to places I need to go anyway. For example, on Wednesday I needed to go the bank, I asked around for a ride, but no one was willing to help out. Eventually while talking to a friend, they let the information slip that they were going grocery shopping. I asked if I could get a ride because I knew that my bank was en route to the grocery store. I also recalled another friend whom was also without a car and asked if they could join us. With this, I successfully was able to go to the bank, and kept a friend from using another option for transportation. Today a group of friends and I decided to visit the International food market in Greensboro. We were originally planning to use three car for this trip, but with my suggestion we narrowed it down to one (with a little bit of uncomfortable closeness involved). These may be small positive actions on a larger scale, but these small actions collectively can be very helpful overall.
