I’m on a total green roll right now, but hey! I was reading this list of the best cities for telecommuters and it got me to thinking: is telecommuting part of the problem or the answer to the question of how to reduce our carbon footprints?
Personally I think there are massive benefits for the environment, primarily from reduced emissions from commuters in traffic jams. However, there are numerous cons: telecommuters need to eat and stay warm at home all day. Reports also suggest that a society of telecommuters would also be highly fragmented.
Is it environment or social cohesion? Take your pick.
