I’m sure you know this already, but research proves that working from home both reduces greenhouse gases and foreign oil dependence. In fact, if telecommuting was more widespread, greenhouse gases could be reduced by as much as 107 million tons and foreign oil dependence cut down by 80%. How’s that for sticking it to high gas prices?

The website, undressforsuccess.com, provided the research findings of the study, using data from the Small Business Administration (SBA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources. To see specifically how much money, oil, and carbon dioxide your city, county or region’s telecommuters could save, utilize the online calculator. It’s pretty neat!
