Ever thought about ride sharing, taking the bus, or bicycling to work?  Get all the info you need on Carolina Commuter, a great website devoted to making alternative commuting easy.  They’ve even got an automated  ride share  matching program, which you can access by setting up a profile (you have to be a registered member for this, but registration is free and quick).  The mind behind this excellent resource is Nelson Ohl, a transportation enthusiast with a degree in Marine Transportation (which has to do with boats, not marine animals, which is, embarrassingly, what popped into my head…) from the California Maritime Academy.  Ohl also maintains a blog about transportation issues, local and national.

So take the leap!  Bike!  Share your ride!  Take the bus!  Our beautiful lowcountry wildlife, beaches, and marshes will thank you from the bottom of their various hearts.
