I'm surprised that remote work hasn't been heavily marketed as an environmental initiative, given that it clearly reduces the need for energy-intensive transportation and alleviates congestion and waste. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33690719
That's an interesting point, though I've heard some counterarguments about companies using remote work as an excuse to expand their real estate footprint.
I agree, but let's not overlook the potential increase in home energy consumption; have you seen studies on the net impact?
