One off excursions are totally different than a 5 day back and forth. I don't have data but one can guess.

there are many positives of WFH but climate change is not one of them
I have data for myself. My annual driving dropped from roughly 9,000 miles to 5,000 miles when I switched to WFH. In addition to avoiding the daily back and forth, I’d often make a detour on my evening commute to get groceries for the next couple of days. Now I plan things out better and make fewer shopping trips, as well.
I wonder if I could negotiate cheaper car insurance rates. I’m driving far less and on safer streets, rarely getting on a major highway.
lets say you are good representative of a general population… how much of a climate change “dent” do you think we made?
I was simply providing a single data point. Please feel free to use that to support your theory or ignore it.
