Coworking Saves the World

We talk a lot at ON about how coworking makes things so much for better those of us who work at home. Working away from your company's (or client's) office also helps the

planet by reducing the amount of trips you have to take in your car. In fact, according to Susan, who knows about this stuff, "Trip reduction strategies are one of the primary ways we can make an impact on climate change in our region." For us, anything that improves the state of our environment is worth doing. On Friday, there

was an excellent segment on KUOW (our local NPR station) about this kind of effort, called trip-reduction strategies, that speaks directly to one of the ways we think ON can save the world. Check it out.

If this is the kind of thing that interests you or might be the kind of argument you could use with your boss to get him or her to let you work at home (or with us) at least a few days a week, keep an eye on the blog. Susan is working hard with Seattle Department of Traffic and Seattle Climate Action Network to make ON a resource for trip-reduction strategies.
