Did you know?

A single day of telecommuting:

Saves between 16 and 23 kilowatt hours of electricity (the equivalent of up to 12 hours of an average household’s electricity use);
Eliminates the need for 1.4 gallons of gasoline and reduces CO₂emissions 17 to 23 kilograms;
Saves about 50% of the annual electricity consumption of the average household by working from home one day a week (based on a one-way commute of 22 miles/day, 5 days per week).
