The emissions saved by remote work are undervalued.
Doing something in a bad situation is comforting for oneself, but if for most visible moves you do the situation gets worse in some of its dimensions, then it would be bad to do it in the first place. And it usually gets that way, mass media put in a very bad light this kind of movements, so that road closes up or get adopted by radicals that can both be manipulated to do the opposite in the big picture or put an even worse light on anything similar anywhere.
Sometimes doing something less, substractive solutions instead of additive, are a better approach. They don't look so fast of getting immediate results, but are harder to end badly or being used to reach the opposite goal. Consume less, travel less, efficient living, promote/use things that goes around those goals, and do it for good, do not erase with one hand what was written with big effort by the other. The action is the inaction, in the best Newspeak style.
Blaise Pascal
The goal sound kind of nice, but saying we only have 700 days left before we will have to start putting negative numbers on our t-shirts and blocking traffic just seems lunacy
