During a WWII cartoon short, Bugs Bunny kicked himself off a train at the end. Why? Trip non essential.
CV-19 and Zoom showed us that maybe a lot of trips are not essential, and should not be taken, or combined.
Maybe that should be the push. It would be greener both from a money as well as eco.
Question: Why are the "greens" not pushing this.

Oh, great! Here we go: The Travel Czar is going to have to authorize people to depart from their houses. Should said Czar determine the trip is non-essential, look the doors to keep them home, and we'll call it a WIN for the Green (Red).

No thank you, sir. I will determine what constitutes essential for my travels. We are not at war.
