Help you go green. Consider:
- Already 12 million employees and another 16 million self-employed people work at home at least one day a month. Collectively, these home-based workers now save the equivalent of 24% of Gulf oil imports and avoid producing 33 million metric tons greenhouse gases a year. (http://undress4success.com/)
- An estimated 1.35 billion gallons of gasoline could be conserved annually if every U.S. worker with the ability to telecommute did so 1.6 days per week, according to a report released in April 2008 by the American Electronics Association.
- The impact of flying. A roundtrip flight from New York to Los Angeles emits 2.46 metric tons of CO2. Jet exhaust is mostly carbon dioxide (CO2), and jets deliver this greenhouse gas directly into the most sensitive portion of our atmosphere.
