The pandemic handed us all a super easy win on doing something about climate change by forcing a large chunk of us to (temporarily, it seems) stop sitting in our cars twice a day. Instant reduction in the amount of CO2 we're producing. It's not 100% of the solution, but it's not nothing, and a year in, most of us had adapted just fine (I'd argue, most who could WFH, prospered, seeing a lot more benefit than negative).

But nah - let's get back in our cars, waste time at the beginning and end of every day, spend more money on coffees and lunch, and breathe in the cubicle goodness because, fuck it - that's the way we've always done it.

Cubicle? Laughs in open plan..

Anyways, seeing as we proved without a doubt that I can do my job from home, any time spent on a forced commute I now consider company time.

I drive into an on-site location a few times a year at most and I 100% consider any time traveling as work time.
