The ride-sharing service has proven to be very popular in cities such as
Mexico City. Drivers there spend an average of two hours a day in their cars.
Aventones has already begun offering their services in Chile and hopes to expand
to busy cities across Latin America.
Aventones founders have won several
awards for their innovative and environmentally friendly business. Their awards
include a 2011 e-business award from the Talent and Innovation Competition of
the Americas and a 2011 “Go Green!” World Summit Youth Award.
The
organization provides an online service that links commuters who need
transportation with individuals who can provide it. Members register by creating
a profile in the company’s network, where they offer or request shared
transportation. Online software matches compatible commuters and suggests where
they should meet.
Aventones’ founders — all between the ages of 25 and 30 —
wanted to launch a business that would raise environmental awareness. They also
wanted to improve the quality of life in Mexico. “I always had the desire to do
something to improve my country,” said Cristina Palacios, one the company’s
founders. “That is why Aventones was born.”
Palacios and team members, Anibal
Abarca, Alberto Padilla, Federico Alatriste and Ignacio Cordero, first met to
discuss their ideas for a ride-sharing project in August 2010. By January 2011,
they were serving their first clients.
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu
describes the effort: “By working together, we can seize the clean energy
opportunity — saving money for consumers, promoting sustainable economic growth,
and protecting the planet for future generations.”
The 22 nations and the
European Union participating in CEM account for 80 percent of global greenhouse
gas emissions and more than 70 percent of the global gross economic
product.
CEM’s Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment (SEAD)
initiative strives to accelerate the manufacture and sale of energy-saving
household equipment with stronger government standards for efficiency. SEAD is
planning to issue a Global Efficiency Medal competition to motivate
appliance-makers toward machines with smaller energy appetites. Flat-panel
televisions are selected as the target product in the first competition, and
some of the top manufacturers in the world say they’ll design entries. TV
accounts for 6 percent to 8 percent of energy use in global residential
electricity consumption.
SEAD has also backed a technical exchange leading
India to become the first country in the world to adopt comprehensive standards
for performance, safety and quality of light-emitting diodes, commonly called
LED lighting.
