WebEx Helps Commuters Dump the Pump

It is no secret that gas prices are at all time high, causing big concerns for individuals and business around the country. In order to help raise awareness of the public transportation options available to help commuters reduce carbon emissions and conserve fuel, the American Public Transportation Association has designated tomorrow, June 19th, "Dump the Pump Day" and is encouraging commuters to fight pollution by making clean air travel choices.

97_2During National Pump the Dump Day, public transportation agencies from coast to coast will join together to offer free ride public transportation instead to provide an extra incentive for commutes to park their cars and avoid using gas.

Cisco is showing support by encouraging workers to skip their commute and work from home with free, web-based, collaborative meetings from WebEx.

Hundreds of businesses already rely on WebEx to help offset carbon emissions and make it easy for employee to eliminate the need to commute to work or travel for business. Check out the carbon calculator to see much money and carbon you can save by reducing or eliminating your commute.

I was just wondering yesterday about the different technologies that allow folks to work at home and save gas... Webex was definitely a leader in the trend!
