To ring in the New Year, we thought we’d start as we mean to go on and share our suggested resolutions! 1. Read more books – why not set up a book exchange with your fellow Carmapoolers? You could save money on buying new books and discover new reading suggestions. 2. Learn something new – how about listening to an audiobook or podcast while Carmapooling? Again, this is a great way to discover new books and podcasts while making the most of your trip. 3. Save money – using Carma can save you a LOT of money on transportation costs. 4. Get healthier – using Carma to get to work, you can hop out wherever you like. Why not end your Carmapool early and walk part of the journey? 5. Live a greener lifestyle – every time you Carmapool, that’s one less car on the road. Lower emissions, reduced congestion, more sustainability! 6. Spend more time with family and friends – Carmapooling can save you time when compared to public transportation, or especially if you live near a HOV/carpool lane. 7. Socialize more in real life than on social networking sites – Carma is a great way to meet people from the community around you, make new friends, and engage with real people. You could also use Carma with your old friends allowing you to see each other more often. 8. Manage stress – Being stuck in traffic can be stressful! Having company can help, especially when you’re able to cut your journey time. 9. Travel more – the money you could save by carpooling could go a long way towards paying for that long needed vacation. 10. Quit smoking – This may sound funny, but by carpooling you’re taking yourself out of situations where you might slip back into old habits (e.g. sitting in traffic alone or waiting on public transport). That’s it folks – if you have any suggestions, we’d love to read your comments. We hope that some or all of the above work out for you, and that you and your families have an awesome 2014!
