Last summer the company asked for ideas on how we could improve our "carbon footprint". I suggested allowing us to use flex time to avoid commuting. I surveyed the department (Engineering) of 28 and the average was 64 miles per day with the highest at 144. I figured that if we could only get our work loads / schedules to work out to allow us to not commute 1 day every other week, our department would save 20 tons of CO2 per year. They bought us reusable coffee cups instead.
