Carpooling is a group of people sharing the responsibility(责任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns driving the kids in their cars. It might be the kids' first experience with real teamwork. Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It's a great lesson in resposibility. Carpooling is coming into fashion everywhere now. You can find lots of informations of carpooling on the internet. Carpooling is cool! Why?

It's good for the environment. In today's culture of everyone needing to try their best to protect our environment, carpooling is one of the best ways.

Take that over a town, a city, a state, a country and think about how much less pollution is going to be in the air over the course of even one year.

Gas(汽油) now is much more expensive than it used to and if you need to watch the cents(美分), then it's possible that carpooling could be the answer to your prayers.
