Also in the news today, bears do shit in the woods and the pope does wear a tall hat and pretend there are no pedophile priests…
But now we know roughly how much the pope’s shit weighed.
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.
I commute to work everyday but I’m lucky that I can do it reasonably by transit or biking.
Saves tons of money on gas, insurance, maintenance and only costs me about 120 CA$ a month! It’s not just the emissions savings!
You can’t use normal thinking.
Lots of things are common sense or even backed up with scientific studies.
Money is what makes the difference.
Just look at coal vs renewables.
Coal has always been cheaper but the minute that started to change. Huge push towards renewables. Not because they are just better but because companies can make big bucks
