Go Team Metametrix!

“Meta-what?” you’re probably asking. That’s the battle cry being heard around the state from devoted “Good Morning America” viewers and all of us here at The Clean Air Campaign. We’ve been rooting for our Bronze Level Partner Metametrix, Inc. as five of its employees competed in the morning show’s first ever Carpool Challenge.

Duluth-based Metametrix was one of eight carpooling teams from around the country that competed to lower their commute costs and save the environment. They did it by ditching their solo commute and sharing the ride with co-workers headed in the same direction.

You can track Metametrix’s success here, where they logged their commute and blogged about it all week long.

And if you’re inspired by what your fellow Georgians have been doing in the national media spotlight, why not give carpooling a try yourself? Just a few weeks ago Michael, Kris, Bryant, Eve and Augustin were driving to work alone too, but after reading their blogs, it seems they love their new commute and the instantaneous benefits that come with sharing the ride. RideSmart will even match you with a potential carpool. So give it a try, then come back and leave a message on our blog about your experience.

carpooling

My friends Nancy, Page Ann and myself were thrilled to hear that we could be rewarded for our good behavior by carpooling. We have been in a carpool since Sept 2007. The catch is... we carpool to school. We are adults in graduate school at Emory University. We have jobs and families. So it is no small task to coordinate our schedules to save gas, save the air we breath, and save our planet!! Too bad that we cannot participate in $$$ for our task. THE CLEAN AIR CAMPAIGN should NOT exclude students commuting to school. Whats with that???
