Working at Home: A Way to Lessen Pollution

Wednesday, January 1, 2014

Working at home can be advantageous not just to you (as the owner of the company), to your employees, but also to our Mother Nature. You may be wondering why I mentioned nature, right? Did you know that a day of telecommuting could save a lot of greenhouse gases? According to the Telework Research Network, about 423,000 tons of greenhouse gases can be saved by just working at home.

Daily Infographic says that an average commuter spends $1500 worth of gas a year. Information Week reported that the U.S Patent Office’s telework program in 2007 with 3,609 home worker participants has helped save more than 613,000 gallons of gas. The program has prevented an equivalent of 9,600 tons of carbon emissions. It also saves over $1.8 million in annual fuel costs. Companies such as Bell Canada and Cisco also made a same program which reported similar environmental benefits.

Working at home is easy and fun. It will not just lessen the hassle of going to your work, but also provides a great help for our environment. If you want you and your pool of talented employees to venture in a work from home setup, use a reliable and remarkable web application like Acasa. This online workplace allows you and your team to work anywhere in the world while reaching the same level of collaboration and productivity, as working together in an office.
