- This is the best summary I could come up with: 
 - People who work remotely all the time produce less than half the greenhouse gas emissions of office workers, according to a new study. - Employees in the US who worked from home all the time were predicted to reduce their emissions by 54%, compared with workers in an office, the study found. - Wider emissions reducing benefits of working from home include the easing of vehicle congestion during rush hour in commuting areas, which is likely to improve fuel economy. - According to the study, this could result in longer commuting distances for hybrid workers and a greater carbon footprint due to the increased use of private vehicles. - The authors said: “While remote work shows potential in reducing carbon footprint, careful consideration of commuting patterns, building energy consumption, vehicle ownership, and non-commute-related travel is essential to fully realise its environmental benefits.” - While the findings do not apply to workers in many sectors – a bus driver, for example, cannot work from home – it provides pointers on how office-based employers can reduce company emissions.
