Is parking spot sharing environmentally friendly?

Parking space sharing helps the environment in lots of ways:

 

1. Reduces the number of cars on the road: By renting out your driveway, you are helping to reduce congestion on the roads, which is a major source of carbon emissions.

2. More sustainable transport: Drivers who rent out space for parking are more likely to use public transportation or cycle, rather than owning a car.

3. Making the most of unused space: Renting out parking space that is empty and unused means that there is less need to build new multi-story parking facilities, which are highly polluting to construct.

4. Less time searching: Platforms like Stashbee have spaces in almost every postcode, which means drivers can find a parking spot quickly rather than driving in circles searching for a spot for ages!
