This project was developed for Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. As part of a campus-wide sustainability effort, this project looks at how the WPI community can reduce their carbon footprint by driving less. A general survey to gather data about the community's driving habits was used to estimate the annual carbon dioxide emission caused by transportation. The results make a convincing appeal that carpooling is one of the easiest and best ways the University can reduce its carbon footprint.
