Telecommunication as a method of reducing global warming in a manner that is fascinating as I already practice it unknowingly. Telecommunicating involves working away from office. This idea has created a new working environment that is literary virtual. It has been created by wireless Internet and existence of non-manual jobs (Heddier & Materek, 2015). The ability to work away from office has reduced global warming in various ways, even extending to other means. This method means no car, no money, and no time is spend commuting to a physical workplace; you work at your comfort at home any other place of convenient.
Telecommunication reduces global warming by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the air which could cause global warning (Arai et al., 2015). This is because people do not drive to work place as they could have without telecommunication (Cars and Global Warming, n.d.). Similarly, people do not also release harmful waste including carbon material the environment as they would have if they were to do manual work in the same number as without telecommunication. People also save their time which is spend commuting to work and could probably use this time to clean the environment (Curran & de Sherbinin, 2004). Additionally, amount of surplus money available to people has increased with new jobs created (approximately 32 million in the US and 3 million people in the UK) and the amount saved when not commuting to work (Park & Ohm, 2015). This money has been useful in health consumption thus less emission/pollution.
In conclusion, telecommunication could the perfect solution to global warming. This is because it has more evident benefits than others. There is reduced energy wastage. People are able to save more cash. Additionally, more time is saved. Therefore, this step should be adopted by as many as possible to help reduce carbon footprint in the atmosphere.
