9Commitment to Green
- For companies to get business done, they have to
meet with employees, customers, vendors and
partners who could be across town or on the other
side of the globe. Traditionally, that means
traveling by train, plane or automobile. With the
growing concern of pollution and global warming,
there is pressure to be environmentally conscious
and curb the impact of our everyday activities on
the world. - CONSIDER THESE FACTS
- Increasingly, companies are spending more time on
the road, which creates more pollution and
changes the landscape of our planet. Commuting
distances are increasing as employees move
farther from the workplace. The U.S. Census
Bureau reported the following states with the
longest commutes. - Rank State Avg. Travel Time to Work
- 1 New York 30.8 6 California 26.6
- 2 Maryland 30.0 7 Georgia 26.5
- 3 District of Columbia 29 8 West Virginia 25.9
- 4 New Jersey 28.3 9 Massachusetts 25.8
