If one cares about climate change, it would be an odd strategy to focus on 0.1% fuel efficiency increases while 10% of flights can somewhat easily be replaced by video calls.
right about the same time we get the paperless office will we see a transition to video conferencing taking over in face. change is hard
hell at work that is one thing they want to get back in office for is face to face. they have mandated cameras for all managers working remote and looking to do the same for other workers. Still there are teams that are doing one day face to face meetings.
I don’t think that is helpful though. Some people focus on this, others focus on that, and we can all both cut down our journeys while also packing lighter when we do travel. We’re not going to solve this by ‘focusing on’ any one thing. I’m really tired of criticisms of perfectly good work that amount to ‘but this other thing is more important’. There’s almost always something else more important. So what?
