Even if you could do this one day per week, it has a ripple effect in your car not buring fuel and not slowing down everyone else. It also enables you to eat a better breakfast and lunch with food you prepare at home instead of the cafeteria or take-out (unless you work at Google).

The most concrete analysis I’ve seen lately comes from Undress4Success, a site offering advice and research for folks who work at home. They asked the simple question: what would be the impact if everyone who could work from home actually did? The answer they came up with for the USA: a savings of 625 million barrels of oil a year, as well as $43 billion less spent on gasoline and elimination of a couple of weeks of wasted commuting time per person.
