In response to my last blog post about the car pool and gas reimbursement program we recently introduced at Tanglewood Conservatories, I received the following note:

“Really great to hear your car sharing idea. Don’t see the logic in you not purchasing a hybrid car though?”

Please know that the car pool program was not meant to replace the hybrid car purchase, which I’m glad to report is underway. I was just commenting on the relative benefits derived from each of the two.

I was quite surprised to see the phenomenal overall impact car pooling can have (as opposed to just purchasing a higher efficiency vehicle)when I sat down and worked up the numbers. Both together is definitely the best solution.
