Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most eco-friendly way to commute?
Walking and cycling produce zero direct emissions. Trains and subways are the next best option, followed by buses. If you must drive, carpooling or using an electric vehicle significantly reduces your footprint.
How much CO2 does working from home save?
A typical 15-mile each-way car commuter saves approximately 2.4 metric tons of CO2 per year by working from home full time. Even 2-3 remote days per week makes a meaningful difference.
