David Attenborough Wants Remote Work to Continue Post-Pandemic to Curb Climate Change

Sir David Attenborough, a new home school teacher, said that we should be working from home to help slow Climate change. The naturalist and documentarian spoke about his thoughts on Earth Day with Christiane Amanpour.

On remote working, Attenborough said, “you can work very, very well from home, and there is no need to have to endure that terrible journey [to work] packed like sardines in tins going into the middle of the city. Maybe there will be a shift in the way we work and if that happens that’s because people prefer it that way.”

Attenborough spoke to Christiane Amanpour on changing habits during the coronavirus. He questioned whether people would be able to give up holidays and flying as readily as working in offices, telling Amanpour,  he wondered if people would reduce “carbon dioxide that we are wasting on transport that we don’t need.”

Scientists believe that the spread of COVID-19, or coronavirus, started at an exotic animal market in Wuhan, China. You can help stop the incidence of viruses like these by signing this petition to ban the wildlife trade.

This is a good time to reconsider our intake of animal products to stay healthy. Eating more plant-based foods is known to help with chronic inflammation, heart health, mental wellbeing, fitness goals, nutritional needs, allergies, gut health and more!
