Five years ago, I remember my town called Batroun was so big and so polluted. I remember went the summer was coming the tourist come to the city. It was considered being the best places to be on summer vacation and to make whatever you want with the environment. In the city we having like 7 beaches; and there are all sort of places- big shopping centers, restaurants, and pubs – to satisfy every need of travelers.

They created a web site, about a social network for carpooling. The website consists of viewing the hours of travel by car the neighbors or the friends to be able to go with him. For example, if I want to go shopping in Beirut I can see when my friends go there and send a message to tell them that I would come with them by paying the cost of gas of course. This work has contributed much in reducing the CO2 released into the area.
