You really need sources to decide that reducing commuting is a good idea for the environment?
- bombcar 5y agoThe question is what affect it would have. If it’s minuscule compared to a single bulk cargo freighter it may just be window dressing and greenwashing. If it would reduce 20% of all energy usage worldwide it would hugely significant.
- gowld 5y agoCommute less and also buy less junk.
- inputvolch 5y agoNo, I'd imagine they need a source that the cost is "extremely high". Are you being purposely disingenuous by reframing the question?
- swader999 5y agoI guess I just get my fur up about the "Sources" demand I see more and more these days. It feels like it is used to stop meaningful discussion on a topic.
- ctvo 5y agoI need sources on two claims: > The cost of commuting on the environment is extremely high. Reasonable, but source please so I can learn more. > If 20% of jobs permanently switched to remote, the impact on carbon emissions would be immediate, and extremely positive. A more extraordinary claim. I also need sources to learn more.
- what-the-grump 5y agoWould like sources and measurement as well however, just in NYC the lockdown had a significant impact on the nature around the city, the air was clean. Unfortunately we are back to precovid traffic levels.
