      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
