Commute less, work more!

Make telecommuting a national priority for all jobs where the work can be done equally well from home. That simple change would save a tremendous amount of gasoline, turn commuting time into productive labor hours, and help families spend more time together. In my own life, such a mandate would save me 200 driving miles, about 9 gallons of gasoline, and 12 commuting hours per week, 50 weeks per year. Multiply that by the number of candidates, and the savings will be astounding. Cost: $0.
