Work from Home to Save the Planet

Many of us in the tech world work from home. Many bloggers commute ten feet from bed to coffee pot to desk (with, hopefully, a stop at the shower along the way). Many IT professionals RDP into servers from home, saving long trips and travel time.

To the rest of the working world, though, working from home is still a bit of a strange idea. Most of us — and certainly all of our parents — grew up with the idea that you got up, went to work, and came home. Work was another place.

On the national level, our tax policy reflects this. The IRS still doesn’t like the idea of home offices and the home office deduction is always something of a red flag.

But what if I told you that working from home could help save the world? It’s true.

WE CAN SAVE 60.5 BILLION GALLONS OF GASOLINE & 36.9 BILLIONS WASTED HOURS
