Because employers do not really care about the environment. They’re pretending to because they think supporting the cause positively impacts their revenue. When they have a choice to make an impact, like now, they pass.
- dennis_jeeves1 4y ago>Because employers do not really care about the environment. This is the correct answer. Most environment related stuff (and other causes that are taken up) is mostly virtue signalling.
- bombcar 4y agoYep. You have to make the environmental goal correspond to a money goal of some sort. And this can be exceptionally difficult because it can be almost impossible to actually work out the long-term effects of things like "more people should work from home". It's easy to say "shutting down a coal power plant will reduce emissions" because they're so bad, but more remote workers could result in MORE pollution if it enabled more "working holidays" and therefore more flying. And that's only one tiny aspect of all the long-term changes that could occur.
