Washington, DC Carpool

From the website
Commuting Americans have enough extra room in their 140 million cars to give all of Western Europe a ride. If every car carried just one more passenger on its daily commute, 32 million gallons of gasoline and 600 million pounds of carbon dioxide would be saved each day. The Internet and directories or bulletin boards at work are good places to find nearby people to share a carpool.
Cheryl Steiger's globe displays the concentration of cars relative to each continent's population, and explores how different models of cars compare to one another. With an emphasis on the simple measures that individuals can take, Steiger sends the message that drivers can make a positive impact by getting the most out of their vehicle's seating capacity in the daily commute.
