A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

This is based in the US. I imagine a lot of that also comes from air con, very long commutes and other wasted office energy use.

From the article > The main causes of remote workers’ reduced emissions were less office energy use, as well as fewer emissions from a daily commute.

Again - I'm really surprised that net energy use is less for distributed workers (setting aside commmute energy use).
