  • To be clear, this is talking about reducing an individual’s carbon footprint… a drop in the bucket compared to big industry. They also mention re configuring offices to use more shared spaces and occupy less space overall by sharing office space and resources by rotating workers use of the same resources instead of having individual spaces for everyone. That apparently is about a 23% decrease for the office carbon footprint. None of this is about the total greenhouse emissions of the country like the headline sort of vaguely implies. It also requires major logistical changes that, while hopeful to think would happen, I suspect companies aren’t going to do as it requires serious restructuring of how they operate.

    Now, I’m not saying that we shouldn’t try things that aren’t the perfect solution. I am just pointing out how this is just another idea that ignores the real problem. Just another thing making it seems like individuals are the problem.

    I also want to be clear that I’m not against working from home.
