Go Green, Go Virtual

Many studies have been done lately on the benefits of teleworking and teleconferencing. The benefits include an increase in productivity, cost savings and positive environmental impact. Organizing a virtual conference can save up to 6-8 hours of travel time per employee. Work virtually and save the costs of hotel, travel and other expenses.

Adopting a teleworking plan can help save the environment. According to Tesla.com "teleworking saves an average of 242 kgs of carbon emissions per employee. That's the same as taking six cars of the road per 50 employees." Additionally, "a reduction in office space required by 75% of the teleworking population and reduces the co2 emissions of 1,200 kgs per teleworking employee."

Other examples include: by using Web Conferencing technology, Arizona's State government has saved 760,773 pounds of co2 and over $1 million dollars. Georgia's Journal of Extension did a study whereby they found that with only four workshop conferences, there was a savings of $6,000 in mileage reimbursement, 200 hours of employee time and 3,400 fewer pounds of carbon emissions.
