 * "Broadband can help the planet stay cool. If you drive a Toyota and commute 50 miles a week, your commute produces 1400 pounds of carbon a year. If you telecommute four times a month it would eliminate .13 tons of carbon. It would take three trees 10 years to absorb that much carbon."
 * " **Video conferencing expends 500 times less energy than a 1000 km business flight."**
 * " **Today, there are 738.4 million passengers in one year, with the average mean travel distance of 1,055 miles.**
 * If 10% of air travel could be replaced by teleconferencing, 77.9 billion miles could be saved, which would reduce greenhouse emissions by 36.3 million tons. Based on this annual average, the 10-year incremental cumulative reduction in CO2 and other greenhouse gases would equal 199.8 million tons."
 * **"Teleconferencing could reduce greenhouse emissions by 199.8 million tons, if 10% of airline travel could be replaced by teleconferencing over the next 10 years."**
 * "If the entire U.S. white-collar workforce teleworked just two days a week, America would conserve 233.3 million gallons of fuel each week - representing an associated annual fuel conservation equivalent to more than 27 percent of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. "
