TeleTrips GHG Trading

encouraging their employees to work at home. Using information such as employee’s commuting distance and the make, model, and year of his or her vehicle, Teletrips’ eCommute program calculates the amount of greenhouse gas emissions avoided when that worker stays at home or travels at off-peak times. Moreover, it translates these savings into tradable emission reduction credits and even brokers the exchange of credits from participating companies to polluters interested in negating their own emissions. The software was developed in consultation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation. Pilot eCommute programs are running in the cities of Houston; Denver; Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; and Philadelphia, as well as the province of Alberta. Learn more at www.teletrips.com.
