Austin, TX | it's a win-win-win A win for the employer, a win for the employee, and a win for the rest of us by removing one more car from the jammed rush-hour freeways. |

Building on that comment you can also add less fuel used, thus more money in the employee's pocket, less miles on the car, and less pollution all around (I'm not trying to be a tree hugging hippie, but I like having to spend less of fuel than a regular commuter does). |

I work an over nite shift , 4 of em to be exact , and the traffic in the morning can take me up to 2 hours to get home and it's only 30 miles.
What kills me is my job is easily done with a softphone voip and a vpn connection with mapped drives. But the company don't want that, because we don't have access to all the servers from the vpn. I keep saying it looks like some one has a poorly configured VPN and they just laugh and say but it wont change any time soon.

If the average commuter telecommuted just 40% of the time that they spend at work it would also be good for national security. |

More Americans need to realize that "Going Green" doesn't mean you're some tree hugger, but that IT SAVES YOU MONEY. IE Going Green can be as American as Apple Pie... I'm all for cutting down on emissions and electricity and gas usage etc because it's saving me money!

1 edit | Well said, and exactly so. Why burn money (and waste resources) un-necessarily. Save your own money, conserve resources, help yourself AND everyone else out too. |

I'm all for cutting down on emissions and electricity and gas usage etc because it's saving me money! Thats kinda been the unmarketed plan the past several years. Even the dumbest politician knows you can't get funding for alternative fuel research or get manufacturers to pump tons of money into developing hybrids, when gas is a buck a gallon. Until the sky rains fire, most American's aren't going to give a crap about getting 14mpg in their bigger-than-a-bus SUV. But hit their wallets, and suddenly hybrids have a 6 month waiting list.

The ability to telecommute is awesome in fuel savings, but I don't usually drive the Full Size SUV for work, but my V8 powered, Mid-Sized Sport Sedan with over 300HP. still gets only 15MPG, even when I drive it conservatively.
Who drives a 300+Hp car conservatively anyway..
