Developed by a father of two who noticed so many cars sitting in the parking lots of soccer fields each week, Dividetheride.com is a green solution to driving. Carpooling has been around forever and we all know it’s a great way to take cars off the road. This service takes it step further by letting you do all the arranging of rides online. Just enter in where you need to be and when and then invite friends and neighbors to join your group. Dividetheride then takes your info and develops a schedule for the carpool. A follow up reminder is sent via email, text message and cell phone two hours prior to pick up or drop off.
Dividtheride offers one more eco solution when it comes to kids and driving.

It’s the small changes in our lifestyles that can have the biggest impact on the environment. We often think that we can’t afford to live in an environmentally friendly manner because we can’t afford to drive a hybrid or replace our home’s windows, etc. The truth is, short of being a lottery winners, families can’t afford to replace everything in their lives with “green products”.
What they can do is look for the areas where small changes can make a difference - areas such as turning off the lights, turning down the heat, and yes, reducing the number of vehicles that are driving to a soccer game.
This site is a great idea. Thanks for letting us know about it. If we make enough small changes together, it will make a big difference for our environment.
