Not reading. Absolute bullshit. Not a chance in hell and not giving clicks.
Not driving cuts down on car exhaust. That isn’t bullshit, it’s a no-brainer.

Only 28% of ghg are from transportation![Ghg mix](https://www.epa.gov/system/files/styles/medium/private/images/2023-04/total-ghg-2023.png?itok=x_KbW8o9)
Only 57% of that might be cut down by working from home![Transportation breakdown](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Ynrb-3W1TMYr8IUc8I8XGoNmZ-IkxdVBmUl3Eo_WcFqjUrW-qkWPauqHqYUtzBm9HjfjR1JcnOOtOcL_GMBqkEax1plbu76og39gWq5QsbZptGZaH2uEU9lB8XjklRReX6wTxHrK2JBoLqm_K_mqLtcvkrrQB0to2F9GVEyrqC9n5C40TYfYqsE5DQ)
You’d get a bit of savings from commercial too
