Here you can read some of our blog posts about how you and your family can go green! Caring for the environment around us is very important to us here at GoKid. We not only started this family carpool company to save parents time, but to ensure that we are leaving a brighter future to the next generation of people.
If you want to go green, carpooling is a great first step. By reducing the number of cars on the roads, you’re also reducing the emissions in the air, saving money on gasoline and wear-and-tear, and ensuring that traffic can move more freely.
We also want to encourage families to be eco friendly in other ways, which is why we regularly blog about ways you can care for the environment and waste less. Check out some of our “go green” tips so you can foster a greener lifestyle for your family.
