Telecommuting brings enormous benefits to the environment, the economy and one?s family life, particularly for women. Telecommuting could take the equivalent of 10 million cars off the road, could save over 640 million barrels of oil, a third of our Persian Gulf imports, and could save 90,000 lives from traffic-related injury or death, providing an annual economic benefit to the nation of over $700 billion. Workplace problems like sexism and racism are more easily addressed since one is not forced to work alongside others in close quarters. It also allows women to work in cultures that otherwise do not allow women in the workplace.
