We've already challenged you to get creative with trip elimination strategies and to motivate others with a little healthy competition. So how are you celebrating your new rock-star status? Consider sharing your successes, experiences, tips and tricks on Facebook or by e-mail.

HARD AT WORK CLEARING THE AIR

Teleworking is known by many names and, regardless of what you call it, it is a great way to eliminate trips and save miles. Connect with clients and coworkers via telephone and the internet to eliminate work-related travel. Not only can you save miles, you can save time too. Take a look at your work calendar and ask yourself a few key questions. Are there any out-of-office meetings you could substitute with a conference call? Any days you could accomplish all of your tasks from home? If so, talk to your boss about how he or she can help you -- and others -- be productive and environmentally friendly during the workweek. For additional tips on how to bring TravelWise strategies to your workplace, check out our Tip Sheet for Employers.
