Comment on a “Telecommuting Success” story

Green Nation Today recently published an article on how telecommuting is helping the environment:
Telecommuting a Quiet Environmental Success Story

One of the most effective and certainly one of the easiest steps that can be taken to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and cut US dependence on foreign oil and the balance of trade, national security, economic and other problems directly associated with that dependence would be the widespread use of telecommuting or telework by US businesses.
I thought it was an excellent article and sent the writer the following comment:
“With the upsurge in telecommuting, though, we have to look at the implications of widespread work from home, the problems of both isolation and distractions, of kids climbing on your work and neighbors dropping by, of trying to work in a corner of your bedroom or on the kitchen table. A sizeable minority have said they’d prefer to work in a center NEAR home, rather than in home. That’s what we’re trying to do: set up neighborhood workspace so people can avoid the commute and be in their community but still be in professional, ergonomic, welcoming workspace.”
