Companies confront a new climate challenge: home offices (reuters.com)

what if your home is powered by solar?

Still changing jobs if work at the office becomes a requirement. They can pick any of an infinite different excuses for why it's necessary for everyone to return to the office, it's simply not going to happen. No doubt they can replace me. The company won't cease to exist without me. There will simply be a cost associated with the replacement process. Wonder if anyone has calculated the energy costs and the impact on the environment of that?

> half a million workers collectively emitted the equivalent of 134,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide in about the first year of the pandemic

So, less than the amount they breathed out?

A typical human exhales about 1kg of CO2 per day, or 365kg per year.

500k of them mean 182,500 tonnes of CO2 per year.

Shifting responsibility to the individuals is not a new strategy.

They may market it like they're concerned but I won't be surprised to see the companies take it to their advantage soon enough.

I wonder if they count commuting CO2 emissions as part of the company or is that just the employee’s problem. Also, someone is always home at my house so HVAC is doing it’s thing either way.
