The commute to work is bad enough but when you add Election Day, forget about making it to work on time! The 2008 Presidential Election is surely the most legendary race our country has experienced and everyone wants a piece of it. Thankfully, I sent in an absentee ballot a few weeks ago to cast my vote and didn’t have to worry about the lines of cars and crowds of people early this morning. For those that plan on voting today, a great way to cut down on the swarms of cars that are polluting the air is to set up a carpool with friends or people in your community.
Planet Green discusses how two companies, Live Earth and Zimride, have created a Facebook application that allows people to organize carpools to local voting booths in an effort to promote a green Election Day. A great way to continue this green commute is to find coworkers that would be interested in riding into work together. Going green can save you a little green – money that is! Be sure to vote today!
