    Not reading. Absolute bullshit. Not a chance in hell and not giving clicks.

      Not driving cuts down on car exhaust. That isn’t bullshit, it’s a no-brainer.

        It’s probably questionable because the headline is worded misleadingly. You wouldn’t cut overall emissions in half, but you’d cut a portion of them in half.

        Only 28% of ghg are from transportation Ghg mix

        Only 57% of that might be cut down by working from home Transportation breakdown

        You’d get a bit of savings from commercial too
