181: Telecommute from home by matthew

Every time you complete this action, you will reduce emissions by an estimated 25 lbs. CO₂e.

Most Americans drive about 40 miles a day, and over half of those miles are part of the daily commute. All in all, driving to and from work generates nearly 26 pounds of CO₂ per person each day. Working from home even just once a week can make a big impact. Over a year you’ll save yourself about 50 gallons of gas, the headache of commuting and dressing up for the office, and hundreds of hours of sitting behind the wheel—not to mention loads of carbon emissions.
