A Rewarding Commute

Having moved to Cottenham around 2 years ago, I was lucky enough to find we had lovely neighbours. What a coincidence to find that Andrew worked as my neighbour also on the Cambridge Science Park. We soon realised that we could benefit greatly by sharing lifts to work. Each of us would save on fuel, the stress of driving the morning commute and benefit our companies Abcam Plc and Toshiba Research Europe Ltd by supporting sustainable travel initiatives. I save around £8-10 a week on fuel and 0.25 tonnes of CO2 emission a year (that’s 0.5 tonnes for both of us). Occasionally we won’t be able to drive each other, but a combination of good communication, a guaranteed ride home scheme for car sharers provided by Abcam, and the option for cycle or bus if needs be, this doesn’t affect us in any significant way.
 
Thank you kindly to Rory and Andrew for sharing your story for the Liftshare Week!
