I live in NYC and don't own a car. All my errands are done on foot and by bike, and I'm using relatively little power because I live in a big apartment building.

If I lived in the suburbs and had to use a car for most trips, then my carbon footprint would be substantially higher, even without having to commute. This map gets to the heart of the issue: https://twitter.com/TheJakeSchmidt/status/142478272240963174...

Yes. Though I would hope that some people would use remote as an opportunity to work from other cities, and not just from the suburbs.

(I work from Singapore for a London based company, for example.)
