Working from home now has another powerful benefit

Switching from working onsite to working from home full time may reduce a person’s carbon footprint by more than 50 percent, according to a new study.

This is a huge benefit of working from home and it needs to be trumpeted from the rooftops. Any company that forces workers back with one side of their face and claims to be caring about the environment out of another should be called out.

“But they’ve now had 30 years of blah, blah, blah and where has that led us? We can still turn this around – it is entirely possible."

“Adults keep saying: “We owe it to the young people to give them hope.” But I don’t want your hope. I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic."

“Our house is on fire. I am here to say, our house is on fire.”

Greta, speaking as clearly as possible.

ESA just released some beautiful #JWST images of M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy.

In the near-infrared image, dark red features trace the filamentary warm dust, while colors of red, orange, and yellow show gas ionized by recently formed star clusters. 

In the mid-infrared image, dust grains and molecules glow, heated by starlight. Empty cavities and bright filaments alternate, giving the impression of ripples propagating from the spiral arms.
