Travel Tips
More than 25% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation
sources, including emissions generated by employees traveling for office-related
business and commuting to and from their jobs. Advances in technology provide us
with many ways to reduce work-related emissions. Videoconferencing can replace
the need to fly for meetings, while telecommuting allows employees to work from
home. When you have to travel, consider options to offset your emissions and
green lodging options to help minimize your environmental impact as much as
possible.
