Telecommuting jobs are green jobs -- find them both at FlexJobs!
"FlexJobs and the team behind it place enormous value on being green. One of the reasons we believe that telecommuting jobs are so compelling is that they are green jobs -- they provide alternative work arrangements that minimize damage to the earth. We are thrilled to be able to celebrate Earth Day by planting trees and in doing so highlight the environmental benefits of telecommuting, " CEO Sara Sutton Fell explained.
The Nature Conservancy is working with local partners in Brazil to restore The Atlantic Forest. Their goal is to plant one billion trees over the next seven years. The project will result in 10 million tons of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere annually, which will have a similar impact to removing two million cars from the road.
Like reforestation, telecommuting and working from home have fantastic benefits for the environment. Green job benefits of telecommuting include reductions in traffic, gas consumption, carbon emissions, and energy consumption.
