I am very happy to read this discussion of ways to diminish our carbon footprint--though I think we spend more time "on foot" than non-dancers do, the issue of fossil-fueled transport to dances is worth some effort to reduce.
I am part of the Contra Dance Umbrella, which organizes the Montpelier VT dance series.  In our rural state, almost everybody drives; some carpool already.  Is there anyone who can suggest a software solution to help people self-organize car-pooling?  None of us has time to personally do the match-making, but I'm hoping that in this day and age there is a program, or an app, or a Facebook service that might make it easier for people to find others traveling from the same town.  I send out an email newsletter, and could easily publicize something like that. 
I hope all are enjoying some nice fall weather like the last couple of days we have had--not like the dreary gray/rainy days just before!
