The energy crisis is in many ways correlated to the growth in population. In addition, we have a high usage of nonrenewable energy sources that will not be replenished over time. In many cases we are not aware of our concumption habits and we do not understand how we can make adjustments. You indicated carpooling as an option for consumers but many do not take advantage of this because of the inconvenience. Do you believe you can make adjustments to help with energy crisis? @Abhisar

Hello @beccamarx19 ! Do you know the meaning of carpooling ?

So, You have a discussion question about carpooling and any other adjustments you can make to solve the energy crisis. lets start with carpooling. what are the advantages of carpooling?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

carpooling will not make an adjustment to the energy crisis

OpenStudy (abhisar):

what makes you think so ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. By doing this amount of oil (and thus amount of energy) required can be significantly reduced. \(\bigstar\)Did you know Carpooling first became prominent in the United States as a rationing tacticduring World War II. It returned in the mid-1970s due to the 1973 oil crisis and the 1979 energy crisis.\(\bigstar\)
