Earthlings, we have been WATCHING you!
What we see is extremely disturbing. Millions of Earthlings get up every morning and go to work in their gas guzzling SUVs and trucks ALONE. We do not understand why any Earthling needs a truck weighing over 6,000 pounds to transport one body from point A to point B.
We understand Earthlings need bigger vehicles because they have become obese due to lack of exercise and reduced walking, but do you really need a huge SUV or truck? Must you drive alone?
You are carelessly wasting your own money, as well as your planet's natural resources.
Carpool to work. Earthlings, the gas is now over $3 per gallon. The easiest way to survive the recession is to carpool to work if possible. Commutes are actually enjoyable with a friend to talk with, and knowing you are saving money. There are smart, friendly organizations which will help you find a carpool human. Check out erideshare.com and carpoolconnect.com . Contact them now while a good selection of carpool humans are still available. Gas is only going higher.
Carpool when running errands. Share a ride with friends or neighbors to the grocery store, Starbucks (If you must go, please see Tip 32: Drink Coffee at Home), or taking your kids to the soccer game (Please see Tip 22: Play a Low Cost Sport).
Use the School Bus. If
you have Earthling children, make sure they ride the bus or carpool
with others. This saves you both money and time. Remember time is
money.
Carpool Etiquette. Please do not abuse your privileges of carpooling by not offering to pay for gas or to drive sometimes. Do not eat beans before carpooling. Please brush your teeth or chew gum so you do not offend and ruin a great thing. Use deodorant. Refrain from using foul language. Do not talk loudly on your cell phone inside the car; a normal voice will work as well. No loud or annoying music. Try to agree on a type of music enjoyable to all humans riding inside the vehicle. Avoid arguing. Perhaps you should avoid discussing religion or politics.
Carpooling for Singles. Carpooling may be a great way for you to meet the opposite sex. What better way to get to know someone than during rush hour traffic?
Warning, Earthlings. If
your carpool human becomes a love interest, you can learn a lot by
watching their behavior during rush hour. If they show behavior such
as displaying the middle finger to other humans during traffic jams,
swearing, cutting into the lanes, or creating dangerous situations, then
perhaps the romantic situation may not be good. These are the possible
warning signs of a disturbing mating
relationship.
Save money during the recession, and be green like us, by Carpooling.
