Evaluating the environmental impact of long-term telework

As some companies weigh the benefits of keeping employees working remotely, Bloomberg CityLab reports that avoiding the office might not necessarily be better for the planet. Reporter Sarah Holder joined CBSN to discuss a new tool which could help employers measure their company's carbon footprint.

She has not said anything but what might happen. I haven't heard any studies facts or figures. Just say you want people to come into the office.

this is a bunch of vocal-fried nonsense. there are practically zero negative environmental, social or economic impacts of telework. this is a misery-loves-company bunch of babbling. historically, people have been miserable in the modern office space. telework is something that should have been the norm by now. she doesn’t even sound like she believes her own lies

I understand what she’s saying, but at the same time, we really need to think about the mental implications of living in more urban areas or having to commute from far on a regular basis even if it is on some public transportation (which isn’t even mostly available in the metro I live in, even when you live 20 minutes away.. Atlanta sucks transportation wise and it’s a big city).

The fact that she states she agrees with monitoring the personal lives of people to "enforce" a green lives on them is very scary and a new form of green control I had not heard of. Insanely psycopathic to be planning to control them.

I think more research needs to be conducted.
