Karma is a pretty simple concept. It boils down to cause and effect.
Within the realm of environmental action as it pertains to cars, however, we’ve ingeniously replaced the ‘k’ with a ‘c.’

Permit us a brief explanation.

Carma refers to each mile less we drive as the result of our efforts from sharing rides. Accordingly, driving 100 miles less would generate 100 units of Carma. One unit of Carma equals.916 pounds of CO2. Every mile saved sharing rides is accumulated and recorded by Yatrips, on behalf of you, your friends and the Yatrips network, as a whole.

In America, we each drive an average of 12,500 miles per year. Our vehicles average 21.5 miles per gallon. For every mile we drive (in a passenger car) we release .971 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere. Sorry folks, but that economy car you drive is no exception. That means after one year, you just released 12,137 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere that isn’t going anywhere. In weight, that equals one slightly undernourished Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur into the sky that’s here to stay. Once it’s up there we can’t get rid of it. What we can do is to put fewer monsters up there. If you have a significant other and a couple kids or a bunch of housemates, every year we put up a small herd of dinosaurs and the effect they are having on us is monstrous.

Yatrips Groups is a flexible way to share rides among people with shared interests. People can use Groups among existing friends or to make new friends. You can create Groups to be public or private. Create a public group to share rides to a football game or create a private group for moms who want to school pool their kids.

Use Yatrips Groups to make ride sharing convenient, economical and enjoyable. And don’t forget. At the same time you are directly reducing CO2 emissions and helping Mother Earth.
