Working From Home Creates Green Jobs!
Work at Home Jobs for Moms are Green!
Work at home jobs for moms help stay at home moms make money, they allow women the opportunity to put their skills and talents to marketable use and they are helping to save the planet in the process. Upon first hearing this statement some may miss the truth it contains. Consider these ways in which work from home opportunities are actually green jobs:
1. Lower carbon emissions - This one is almost too easy to spot, but considering that every day (quote emissions) drive to work while spewing toxic emissions into the atmosphere, work at home jobs for mom… (insert more). Now we know that our fellow workers are also concerned about the planet and, therefore, carpool, take the bus or a train to work, but even if a work at home job requires a mom to travel to the office even one day per week, she is doing far more to save the environment than her counterparts who don’t have this same choice.
2. Lower energy costs - Besides carbon fuel emissions, work at home jobs for moms make it possible for women to control their energy usage by using less lighting. Instead of lighting an entire office with flourescent lighting, the average work at home mom uses a single overhead light or lamp (which we hope is energy efficient). Or, when the weather is right, work at home moms may even choose to do what I’m doing now, which is working outdoors under the power of free, natural sunlight.
3. Less paper - The majority of work at home jobs for moms are done by phone or the Internet. While these obviously save on paper usage (as a freelance writer my office is almost completely paperless), even the hiring process for most work at home opportunities are able to be done without paper. From applications to resumes to actual interviews, many of which are done online or by telephone, far less paper is used when women work from home offices.
In what ways have working from home helped you become more “green”?

My firm gives bonuses if four people come to work with one car. I take 3 of my colleague every morning and drive them back after work.

I like the fact that work from home moms are considered going for green – I never have thought of that. But definitely so true. I guess working from home is giving greater contributions to the world not only that you get to earn and be able to take care of your children all at the same time but with the three mentioned issues – lower carbon emissions, lower energy costs, less paper – it’s something that work from home moms should be proud of.
You can feel very alone being a work at home mom but social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Squidoo let’s you connect with people with like interests. So, you don’t necessarily have to go out. You can get real support from these social media sites.
