Carpooling to Campus [Infographic]

Getting to class on a college campus is a pretty sustainable process: you walk or bike from your dormitory to the appropriate classroom building, right? That’s still how most of us conceive of a college student… but that hasn’t been the norm for quite some time. Most students live off-campus and commute, which often means a single person in a single car.Β Not quite so sustainable, huh?

So, how’s a student supposed to get to class on time while maintaining his/her ecological values? Mass transit is one option; walking and/or biking are others.
