I completely agree that the crisis has a systemic nature and it’s no going to be fixed through personal choices. I do think forcing people to commute to work is an example of a systemic problem though. It’s ultimately employers who are making this decision, and after the pandemic we know perfectly well that many jobs that require people to come to the office can be done remote. Forcing companies to facilitate remote work would benefit the employees and the environment.
