Formal carpooling is thought to have emerged in mid-1970s, likely due to the oil crisis at that time. It was a different sort of crisis back then and what we face now is far more serious. Our crisis isn't so much about politics or oil cartels; it's about resources that’s running out and one that plays a major role in global warming - oil.
While the days of plentiful, easy to extract crude oil are just about over; there will be still enough around for some years to come to push us well over the brink into runaway global warming. Unavoidable change is already occurring to our climate, but it's within the power of each of us to do our little bit to reduce emissions - and our collective efforts can make a difference.
