Sustainable Missoula: Post-COVID telework key to carbon-reduction goals
“Many employers who thought they couldn’t or shouldn’t allow it, have been surprised at the results.”
Perhaps most convincing to adopting official telework policies, is its environmental benefits. Throughout the pandemic, global emissions fell an unprecedented 17 percent. Furthermore, emissions from surface transportation, one of the nation’s and Missoula’s largest sources of C02, fell 36 percent at the peak of the shutdowns.
Now is a perfect opportunity for Missoula employers to permanently adjust how they do business so we can reduce our emissions in the long term. Currently, teleworking is a necessary response to a terrible crisis. But in a post pandemic world, it will certainly help us achieve our environmental goals, raise productivity, and improve job satisfaction.
