Work from home.

"If everyone who could perform a job remotely did so just 1.6 days per week, $4.5 billion worth of fuel would be spared. That would prevent the release of 26 billion pounds of carbon dioxide each year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency."

It does sound a little extreme. Before MDs and CEOs start jumping like they're on frying pans, maybe we can tone it down a little. For those who can work remotely, for heaven's sake, WORK remotely. Perhaps we're all stuck in this little system where within the workforce, if one person or a team of people are not there physically, the output becomes inefficient. Is it true? Or is that an urban work myth? What's the point of having all these fancy multi-sharing tools and softwares if we're not able to work remotely anyway?

Something to think about.
