Question:

2. Using material contained in this insert, as well as other material you can find, develop a list of arguments that suggest telecommuting is better for the environment than making people come to the traditional workplace. Then develop a list of arguments that suggest telecommuting is not better than the traditional system. Which list is most persuasive? Recently, the four-day workweek has been promoted as good not only for employee morale and satisfaction but also for the environment. One argument is that since workers will be driving to work only four days each week instead of five, they will be using less gas and therefore putting fewer greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But whether the four-day workweek really saves gas obviously depends on what workers do on the fifth day. If they drive their SUV 400 kilometres to go visit relatives, they will burn more gas than they would have by simply driving to and from work. On the other hand, maybe they would have taken such a trip on the weekend if they had to work a traditional fiveday workweek
