Preserving Earth’s life support system is everybody’s
concern. Technology gives us the power we all need to
accomplish the difcult environmental tasks that lie ahead.
For example, how can companies lower carbon emissions
produced by their employees without losing their personal
touch? One way is to decrease business travel and commuting
by using TelePresence and Web collaboration. The tech-
nology is now in place to make distance collaboration a
natural part of the daily workow among employees and
business partners. Colleagues can locate each other,
ascertain availability, and communicate by voice, data,
and video wherever they happen to be. They can engage
in everything from training sessions to sales presentations
online—where they aren’t leaving carbon footprints all over
the planet. Electronic travel is making people more mobile
than ever, even when they stay in one place.
By investing in Cisco collaboration
technologies like WebEx and TelePresence,
the company is committed to reducing
emissions from employee travel.
Saving power helps save the environment.

Seventy-eight percent of companies
with teleworking programs identify Web
conferencing as the top component in
these programs, according to Wainhouse
Research’s 2007 WebMetrics Survey.
WebEx calculates that a company saves
11.2 tons of carbon dioxide when they
conduct a 12-person training session
online instead of ying the participants
from Dallas to San Francisco.
Between 1990 and 2000 the average
American worker increased their
commute time from 22.4 to 25.5 minutes
and more people drove to work alone
(+3 percent).
