    Yep! Transitioning to 100% remote work where possible would have a hugely positive impact

      I didn’t read this article but I did read another article where if as much of America as possible transition to fully remote online only work that it would be the equivalent of removing millions of cars from the road.

      Massive savings in fuel, massive decreases in carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrous oxide being released into the atmosphere, massive increase in happiness, it would lead to cities being decluttered and rural areas experiencing a sudden revitalization as people flock to areas with lower costs of living.

      It would be the single most impactful thing that we could do without negatively affecting the national economy and the only reason we’re not doing it is because your office managers will feel lonely inside their great big expensive buildings that everyone has to commute 45 minutes to get to without you.

        Yep. I hope that companies start to do this and use it as an offset to their carbon footprint. Eventually when all companies are measured by how much they pollute, this will be one of their levers to pull.
