    ^ that's fine. I wouldn't have particularly expected it to - there's been a drop in airline and passenger vehicle emissions, but industry and agriculture is 'essential' and basically unchanged, as too all the other large slices on the CO2 Emission pie chart.

    What's great about this though is that there's a physical proof that a reduction in polluting activity has a direct and highly-visible positive effect on dense urban populations. Also too the ideas of new ways of working and living life.

    Also, perhaps an evaluation of what's important - something like that post WW2 spirit, but all green and feely-feely.

    • Just people learning to cook again is good. Reducing reliance on certain industries and shifting to others. It’s not all bad.monospaced
