[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What bothers me are people like Michael Bloomberg who act like they care about climate change but are leading the charge to get people back to the office. WFH is a greater contribution toward lessening carbon emissions than any government mandate, but he doesn’t care because it affects his bottom line.

The societal benefits of WFH can’t be underestimated either. A lot of kids get to see a lot more of their parents when they WFH.[/quote]

I would love to see evidence that WFH is significantly better for climate change. During the pandemic so many WFH people moved deeper into the suburbs and bought bigger houses so they could have a home office. Everyone using electricity and AC at home during the day is not actually more efficient than going into an office, and traffic has been horrible post pandemic because people live farther out now.

People move out further as it's more affordable/size.  We have a small house and it's very tempting to move out.  You cannot tell me it's not better for my spouse to work from home when he has a 60-90 minute drive each way with gas.  If they moved away from offices and shut those down, yes, it would be more environmental.  There are multiple studies if you google it.[/quote]
