Most of us would love to take climate action and save more money but don’t know where to start. EcoPooling is the smarter, greener carpooling solution here to keep the planet turning and drive real change.
Make no bones about it, the climate crisis is real. Several countries, including the UK, have already made commitments to move to a net zero emissions economy.
This move is in response to climate science showing that to halt climate change, carbon emissions have to stop, not simply be reduced.
To limit global warming to 1.5°C, greenhouse gas emissions must peak before 2025 at the latest and decline 43% by 2030.
At the heart of the issue is the way we travel to and from places. It’s believed that transport accounts for around one-fifth of global CO₂ emissions, with three-quarters of this figure coming from road travel.
The good news is there’s a smarter way to travel. EcoPooling offers two solutions to make journeys cheaper, easier, and more sustainable.
For commuters and parents, our carpooling service connects you with trusted drivers for daily rides, saving time and money while reducing congestion. For event-goers, our buspooling solution brings people together to share transport to concerts, festivals, and football matches—cutting costs, parking stress, and emissions.
No apps, no subscriptions, no hassle. Just seamless shared travel, managed through our web portal and WhatsApp Chatbot.
The start of our story was simple. Like many of you reading this, our Founder, Chris Woodley, experienced the frustrations parents encounter on the school run every day.
Sat in the same traffic jam on the same route with many of the other parents only a few cars behind, paired with the growing climate crisis filling the airwaves, he felt compelled to do something about it. Cue the birth of EcoPooling Ltd in July 2023.
Leveraging his 20 years of experience building technology products in financial markets and trade finance, Chris is on a mission to solve real customer travel problems through climate-positive pooling solutions. And in the process, enable individuals, schools and SMEs to reduce their carbon footprint to meet net zero targets.
