Save Gas with Webconferencing...

Reader's Digest asks its readers to save a gallon of gas this week in celebration of Earth Day.

What a nice idea. And because of skyrocketing gas prices, folks who aren't even ecology-minded might be eager to look for ways to reduce their gas consumption, anyway.

RD.com suggests a few ways you can save a gallon this week -- but I have yet another suggestion.

Here's a great way to celebrate Earth Week:

Don't drive to work one day a week. Or don't drive or fly to attend a meeting.

What to do instead -- Teleconference. Or Webconference. You'll not only save on the gas it took to get to the meeting, you won't even have to shower...so you'll save gas from not using your gas-powered water heater, too!

Seriously, webconferencing and teleconferencing is becoming increasingly popular. If you haven't looked into it yet, please do. After you've built that face-to-face rapport with your clients, is there any reason that you absolutely MUST see them in person as much as you do?
