Work - Environmental Benefits

The benefits to the environment as a result of working from home are huge.

As Work Wise UK say, introducing more home and flexible working is one of the primary ways in which to reduce direct air pollution and reduce the amount of fuel energy used.

The amount of vehicle emissions will also fall because less number of vehicles will be sitting in traffic.

According to the Road Users Alliance a car travelling at crawling speed generates over 500g/km of carbon dioxide. At 100kph this falls to around 175g/km.

In addition, it would mean less drain on resources as more people would be able to cook from scratch, rather than relying on take outs, and would mean less electricity used on labour-saving devices, such as tumble driers.
