Can working from home really help heal the planet?

Now that #WFH has become the norm, how have our sudden and major changes in behavior affected the environment?

George Valiotis: Most businesses and commercial buildings don’t have great recycling systems set up — more people working from home may lead to more recycling. Consumption in one place is increasing, but so is the use of recycled material. As a consequence, I expect curbside recycling is anticipated to increase by 30 to 40 percent.

Pollution will certainly decrease within the U.S., and globally during the COVID-19 outbreak. China, among other countries, is already experiencing such changes. This is one of the balancing effects and even a positive consequence that has sprouted from such an unfortunate global dilemma.
