Really shows that Google (and co) are not willing to make some hard changes to fight climate change (besides lip service / greenwashing).

- ipaddr 5y agoThat's a good point not considered. Employee travel must push google from green/neutral to being part of the problem.
- ttGpN5Nde3pK 5y agoYep. .* and co will do anything to fight climate change, except let people that drive to an office to sit on a computer all day work from home. The world had a real shot at making a huge impact on emissions. Really sad to see it slip away because people can't let go of their LinkedIn fantasies of collaborating in an office around the water cooler.
- esprehn 5y agoGoogle may do many things, but one of them isn't paying lip service to climate change. https://sustainability.google/commitments/ https://sustainability.google/commitments/ https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/sustainability/sharing-carbon-free-energy-percentage-for-google-cloud-regions https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/sustainability/sharing-... https://techblog.nz/2312-Do-Googles-zero-carbon-footprint-claims-stack-up https://techblog.nz/2312-Do-Googles-zero-carbon-footprint-cl... Google has also invested quite a lot in seamless video conferencing tech way before other companies allowing a large reduction in travel (and carbon footprint) despite a global workforce. These days it's common across tech companies, but it wasn't 10 years ago when they started rolling out GVC.
- taylodl 5y agoSo is Google saying what's good for thee isn't good for me? You lead by example. These tech companies sell all the tools you need to support a remote work force and then turn around and say a remote work force isn't good for them. What message does that send?
