Where to start:

- Find a job you can walk to.
- Work from home or telecommute.
More about: Commuting
The average American commute to work is about 12 miles, and a whopping 90% of us drive to work solo. This increases traffic, pollutes our air, and costs more money. The good news? Carpooling, biking, taking public transit, walking, or telecommuting just once or twice a week is surprisingly easy once you try it.
