Did you know that the average car commuter drives 19 miles a day? Cutting that by half through car sharing would save 648kg of carbon dioxide over one year, the same as that absorbed by 216 trees.
National Liftshare Day will be taking place on Tuesday 14 th June 2005. The aim of the day is to highlight the environmental benefits of car-sharing and is being run in partnership with World Environment Day – when people are asked to sign-up to small everyday actions, such as car sharing, that make a big difference to our environment.
National Liftshare Day provides an ideal opportunity for the promotion of car-sharing, both locally and nationally. We're hoping to recruit at least 5,000 new car-sharers in the month running up to National liftshare Day, so need all the support and help we can get.
