Carbon Diet Challenge, Day 7: Carpools

Today I checked out the Duke GreenRides program -- a carpool matching service offered through the parking office.

After a short survey in which you fill out your location, time preference and several personal but not overly invasive questions, the database offers you matches and a form email to initiate contact.

I stopped after filling out the profile. Beyond my hesitation to meet people over the internet, I have to admit to not being fully committed. This, mostly because I tend not to be a particularly habitual person, in which case biking and regular bus service offer an attractive alternative that allow for a more independent and irregular schedule. Since I'm still exploring those two options, I'll let the bait dangle for a bit before I dive in further. For now though, my hat's at least in the ring.
