Transportation is the second-largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions (after power generation), and accounts for 70 percent of all domestic oil consumption. Our car are big polluters, and 80 percent of people who work outside the home make it worse by driving to work alone. There has to be a better way, and there is. The simplest and least expensive way to revolutionize our transportation systemis a very low-tech solution: Let people telecommute. Leave your car in the garagejust two days a week and you cut your annual carbon dioxide emissions by 1,600 pounds. It seems crazy that in an era when all the high-tech tools of the modern office are available cheaply at home, we still require people to show up for work. Nowadays, half of all jobs are “receptive to telework,” the Atlantic reports, and the rapidly expanding information technology field is especially simpatico.
