The best reason I've ever seen for telecommuting:
Telecommute once a week. Americans traveled 614.5 billion miles to and from work in 2001. If all commuters worked from home just one day a week, we could save 5.85 billion gallons of oil and cut over 65 million metric tons (roughly 143 billion pounds) of carbon dioxide each year.

Where I work, we're not allowed to telecommute. BUT, I work for the State! Ergo, they should be encouraging us to telecommute. The government has to take a stand and start doing something about this environmental disaster we've brought upon ourselves.
