Going GREEN By Working From Home

Going Green has been the hype these past few years. People are starting to understand our huge impact on the environment and what they do will either hurt or help this planet.

There are amazing ways to cut our emissions and become Green. More and more wind turbines are being built, solar energy is becoming more available and solar panels are becoming cheaper to purchase. One of the easiest ways to go green is by teleworking or telecommuting. Most workers actually prefer to work from home and many employers can cut costs and save money by not having to heat/light a building full of employees. By avoiding the commute to and from work and idling in traffic we can cut billions of tons of carbon emissions. Amazingly, an estimated 14 million workers will be telecommuting or working from home this year. It is said that if every worker in America worked from home just one day a week we could conserve 1.35 billions of gallons of gasoline and reduce 26 billions of carbon dioxide from being released into the air. These environmental benefits are huge and it is just one day of working from home!

Working from home or telecommuting can help you: preserve the environment, conserve energy, reduce our foreign oil dependency, and eliminate using up resources to build more and more cars. If you don't work from home, ask your boss if you can start telecommuting to save the company money, you money, and preserve our planet for future generations. And if you want to start working from home and need to find a job, try using the Jobs Based From Home Database and E-book for a huge list of available positions. Unlike what Kermit said, it actually is easy being green.
