Carpooling conserves the environment by reducing the number of vehicles on the road, which cuts fuel consumption and exhaust emissions (including CO2, NOx and particulates), lowers traffic congestion and idling time that waste fuel, and thereby decreases air pollution and greenhouse‑gas output; additionally, sharing rides reduces per‑person fuel and maintenance use, lessens noise and road wear, and can reduce overall demand for fossil fuels all commonly cited advantages of carpooling.
