Future Car Pool Station (CPS)

Here is a new Car Pooling Concept which tries to solve traditional car pooling problems (what if one of partners is late? What if one of partners is not coming at all? What if one of partners is asking to wait? What if the car owner is not going to office today? How to share the money precisely?). You are going to read a future billionaire’s new blog post. Be attentive before reading further!

You leave from your office in your car. You drive to CPS-12, the nearest Car Pool Station numbered 12. You enter the station and swipe your CPC or Car Pool Card at the entrance gate. The machine at the entrance gate reads your information. The machine knows where exactly you are going after office, (Here is the catch, but leave it aside now!) that is to your home. Now it calculates the route, from the station to your home. Now it opens list of people who at that time are present in the CPS-12. These people are not the station employees but normal commuters. Each commuter has one CPC. While entering the station they have to swipe the card the way you did. The CPS computer will then know, where each passenger wants to go. Now the computer lists out the people whose destination is on your way. It picks the 3 commuters who can be accommodated in your car. By the time you reach a special platform just outside the waiting lounge, you will find the 3 people already waiting for you, thanks to the CPS’s instant mobile message system. At the platform they again swipe their ‘prepaid’ CPC to a special machine who deducts some amount based on their destination. Then before starting the journey, you also swipe your card at the machine, which will credit some amount based on the number commuters you are carrying. You get out of the CPS and drive towards your home dropping the 3 commuters on your way.

Wohow! its over. its simple.

You save on car running cost by sharing.
They save money and time.
We save the environment.

Any takers?

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

Recycle, we have to.

Is it true that when someone asks us to do something in a voice of 'advice', someone inside us tells us to not to follow just because it has not come from you but 'someone' has told you to do so. why should you do that? i think upto some part it is true. i would feel 'go away man. do u think you are smarter than me? i know what to do.'. may be it is my immaturity !
i hope this article would not turn out a 'advice'.

while googling 'recycle' i found one particular title which said. 'Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.'
yes, thats what we need to do. no options. i am confident that we are aware of why we need to do that. All that 'green house effect' and 'global warning' and 'go green' practices we are hearing from sometime!!

Reduce:
-your bike/car usage. if your office is near to your home, get yourself your childhood dream. Get a bicycle.
-print a document if it is really required. (No, office people have not told me to put this point.)
-USE coffee cup, dont WASTE. it is true that paper cups are recycled. But if we are recycling things before they are fully utilized then its waste of energy.
-for those whose work is related to computers or in that case any machinery which uses electricity, should shut down them at end of the day/when not be used for long time.
-at traffic signals, if by timer or any other mean we can predict our halt to be longer than 60 seconds, we must put the engines at rest. if it is less than that and we are using battery to start the vehicle than it is again waste of energy. (in that case use kick-start, aha!)
-no one uses the carbon filament bulbs nowadays. if by chance you are using it, its time to upgrade to 'CFL'. i thought i m not using filament bulbs anymore, but suddenly now i remember our gallery has the filament bulb. Today is its last day, promise!

Reuse:
-See this video. Its funny. Its good. Its appealing:

-paper. If we are explaining or giving address or doing some mundane calculations, we can definitely use back of printed paper.
-plastic bags are easy but messy for mother earth. buy a canvas or other material shopping bag which can be reused.
-avoid paper napkins(even it is given free at office/food joint). hmmm..okay if not avoid than we can try to minimize! use your hanky whenever possible. we can reuse it, remeber?

Recycle:
I dont know exact difference between 'reuse' and 'recycle'. i think if you have to do some processing before you use items again is recycling. And simple, reuse is reuse. In that case the above video has to be on 'recycle' part.

how to recycle tea bags? how to recycle bath mat? how to decorate using recycled items? how to recycle tinsel? visit 'RecycleThis'
Visit this which says 'Recycle or go to hell'.


Reading this may be easy but following will be hard as always. Start with one thing and when it becomes a routine, add one more.

To put the end, Gandhiji once said,

'We should not use the natural resources like our forefathers have gifted us, but like we have borrowed it from our future generations.'.
