As a small business owner, you can deduct automobile expenses for visits to clients, vendors, or travel to business meetings away from your regular workplace. If you operate your business out of your home, a drive from your home to a supplier and back home again is a 100% deductible business expense.
To that end, we are currently negotiating the most ambitious trade agenda in the history of the United States, anchored by two major trade agreements with Asia and Europe. The first is the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) that will grow the export of Made-in-America goods to eleven countries in the Asia-Pacific region, supporting jobs here at home while strengthening environmental protections and improving working conditions throughout the Pacific Rim. And the second is the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) that would decrease remaining barriers in an already robust relationship, streamlining regulations for U.S. workers and firms.

While some large employers have already publicly embraced the Call to Action, even reform-minded employers are likely to be wary of some of these proposals. For example, broad prohibitions against non-competes for workers under a certain wage threshold could threaten the many small start-ups where employee salaries tend to be lower than established businesses, but where those employees have access to highly confidential information and trade secrets. Start-ups need room to innovate at lower cost, but they still need to protect their R&D and IP from competitors, and non-competes can be an effective tool in accomplishing that goal.
I understand this is true for people of a wide range of income levels. A friend living in southern Maine told me a small two-bedroom home a few doors down from her had two dozen offers, many over the asking price. It sold shortly after being listed. That means 23 families were turned away.
Avoid Wood Burning Fireplaces—According to Johnston, a wood burning fire exhausts as much as 24,000 cubic feet of air per hour out of the chimney, all of which is replaced by cold air from outside that must then be heated by your furnace or boiler. By installing an alternative fireplace option, such as a gas fireplace insert, you can eliminate a major source of energy inefficiency in your home. Convert to Natural Gas Fuel—This may be the only time that going green means switching to natural gas, but when it comes to health considerations, a fossil fueled heating system is healthier than one that relies on burning wood every time. Wood smoke contains small particles that are breathed deep into the lungs, and which can lead to multiple serious respiratory problems. Natural gas, on the other hand, produces a relatively clean exhaust that is more efficiently exhausted to the outdoors. Install a Natural Gas or Propane Fireplace—If your goal for installing a fireplace is ambiance over heat, look into natural gas and propane fireplaces for your home. High-efficiency fossil fueled fireplaces provide the warm, inviting atmosphere that fireplaces are known for, all while drastically reducing pollutants released into the atmosphere and completely eliminating heat loss through your chimney (since it will no longer be necessary). Install a Pellet Stove—If you're not completely committed to burning solid wood as a fuel, consider installing a high-efficiency pellet stove that burns small cylinders made from compressed sawdust. Pellet stoves produce fewer pollutants than wood burning stoves, utilize a byproduct of the lumber industry that would otherwise be discarded as waste, and are far more efficient than traditional wood burning stove designs, thanks to an electronically regulated mix of fuel and air that promotes optimum burning efficiency. Install an EPA Certified Wood Stove—EPA certified wood stoves emit 70 to 90 percent less particulates into the air than conventional wood stoves. That equates to huge health benefits for you and yours, seeing as how EPA studies indicate that exposure to wood smoke is just as harmful as being exposed to an equal amount of cigarette smoke in an indoor environment. Properly Size Your Stove—Just as with fossil fuel burning furnaces and boilers, it's important that your contractor installs the properly sized stove for your home. A properly sized wood burning or pellet stove will burn fuel more efficiently and heat your home more comfortably than one that is too large or too small for the space you are dealing with. Purchase a Unit that Draws Combustion Air From Outdoors—Whether you're burning natural gas, pellets, or wood, it pays to purchase a high-efficiency unit that draws combustion air in from the outdoors. By doing so, you won't be wasting already heated indoor air to fuel the fire. Look Into Tax Benefits and High-Efficiency Upgrades—Many states offer tax incentives to homeowners who upgrade to high-efficiency units. High Efficiency = Environmentally Friendly—Fortunately for the environment, a high-efficiency fireplace or stove is also a more environmentally friendly one. High-efficiency models convert a higher percentage of fuel to heat, which in turn creates less exhaust (or smoke) that is released into the atmosphere. Many high-efficiency units also have catalytic converters that further reduce the pollution exhausted into the atmosphere. 1e1e36bf2d
