Gartner estimates that 12.6 million U.S. workers tele-worked last year more than eight hours a week.

According to Carol Browner,
former administrator of the EPA,

"If 10% of the nation's workforce tele-commuted one day a week, we would…

• avoid the frustration of driving 24.4 million miles,


• we'd breathe air with 12,963 tons less air pollution and


• we'd conserve more than 1.2 million gallons of fuel each week."
