Yes, I will take & use all the plastic bags, cutlery & straws.
If companies can force back #RTO without any consequences, then pushing #environmental responsibility on the individual is complete BS. Burning petrol unnecessarily in heavy traffic daily is somehow more acceptable than single use plastics.
For the folks defending #returntooffice - I'm going to have as much empathy when your homes are razed by wildfires, floods & mudslides, as your smug attitude about commuting. The lack of care goes both ways. "It was like this before covid/ that's just the way it is" back at ya.

“The department responsible for managing government buildings is looking to quickly find solutions…”

Well how about embracing the MANY PROVEN BENEFITS—THROUGH THE FURNACE OF COVID—OF ALL OR MOSTLY WORKING FROM HOME you reprehensible, disingenuous, cynical, immoral leaders and managers who are setting this toxic, planet-and-people-hurting, entirely politically motivated hollow agenda of blatant RTO lies?

Discussing RTO in my Genesi t-shirt...

This Monday I talked to a couple of friends about work while wearing my Genesi t-shirt. A teacher going back to school after Spring break and an IT guy explaining the nightmare of RTO threat. I love coincidences :-) Why do I say that? Genesi t-shirt As I wrote a few years ago about working from home: “After graduating from university, I worked from home for a small US-based company. I never met my boss while working there and met only one of my colleagues at a conference in Brussels.

There is a Honda Clarita that is getting on my nerves. The Clarity is a plug in hybrid with a 14 kWh battery. Were that battery completely empty, it could charge on the office charger in 2 hours. But that battery will never be completely empty.

This clarity driver occupies an EV charger for 8 hours a day every day. I have check, and the charger usually shows no power is being transfered to the car.

I have an EV eith a 65 kWh battery and never get to use the chargers.
