Getting Green About Work Meetings

I’ve always known there was a good reason why I worked from home in terms of the impact on my quality of life and the impact on my family.
But I have to admit, I feel a little bit overwhelmed analyzing the impact of my telecommuting or the impact of anything I do day-to-day on the planet. Luckily, it turns out I’m helping to save the world by working from home. At least according to the iLinc Web conferencing software.
iLinc announced their “Green Meter” to provide companies with a tool to measure the “environmental ROI” of Web conferencing - real time carbon emissions savings. The patent pending feature calculates the “standard emission rates” for cars or planes based on where each participant in the Web conference are located. How does it do this, you ask?
