How does a higher income elasticity lead to faster declines in pollutants

DownTheStreet · 51-55, M
I’m not sure. I feel like the biggest reduction in pollutants was achieved not by climate initiatives, but Covid lockdowns.
@DownTheStreet what makes you feel that way

@PepsiColaP it led to “work from home” which for a material % of workers has remained. For example, we have 800 people working from home at our company. They formerly would burn on average 2 gallons of gas per day commuting, 49 weeks out of the year. 800 x 2 x 5 x 49 = 392,000 gallons of gas no longer used. Think about that if, say, 20% of the working population went from office work to remote work. Not just huge emissions avoidance but also fewer tires in the landfill, brake pads used up, oil, etc etc.

If you are asking if people with higher incomes tend to live in less polluted areas than those with lower incomes, it is partially because of what those of higher income refuse to have in their "backyards" and are successful at keeping them out.

What does this question have to do with the subject area?
