One of our initiatives in going green is to reduce the carbon emissions getting to and from work. Probably the easiest ways of doing this are utilizing public transportation and organizing a carpool program. As most AMIGOS employees at the Intenational Office live fairly close to each other in a few neighborhoods, we have come up with a carpooling program (attached spreadsheet).
Instructions for using the spreadsheet: To schedule a day of carpooling, please download the attachment and type your name in the days that you can be a driver (please plan ahead at least two weeks up to a month ahead depending on your travel schedule). Then upload your new version of the spreadsheet to keep the newest version here on the Going Green forum. Take a minute to email your coworkers who live in your neighborhood to let them know when you are availble to drive the carpool and offer them a ride. Passengers should then visit the forum and fill in the spaces where they'd like to ride in the carpool. If there are multiple drivers on the same day for the same neighborhood, insert a new row and it should not change any of the days in column A.
*Please Note: Drivers should not have to drive more than 3 times in the same week. If you are a passenger one day, please schedule a driving spot within the next week to return the favor to those who have driven you to work. This program works off karma and paying it forward, so share the love and enjoy the ride!
