I do think that the practice of having everyone work from home will allow us the opportunity to significantly reduce our impacts. Imagine if a significant number of us at BPS worked half in the office and half from home and shared work stations! We could reduce commutes, reduce our footprint, reduce costs to the City (while incurring a little cost bump at home). The impacts could be huge, maybe it's time we get on board with a new way of doing things... I'm totally up for shaking things up even after this has passed :)
