Rejected petition Once Covid restrictions lift, people can still work from home if they chose.

I would like to make it possible for people to continue working from home if they're able to. I am hoping this will allow the ease of traffic and also ease pollution levels.

More details

For over 20 years now we have been taught about how badly the world is suffering from pollution of all kinds. We have all seen heard and felt the difference in traffic and noise pollution levels since the restrictions were put in place. Can we make a small change now? Businesses have paid out thousands to give staff the ability to work from home, so far, successful. Please can you make it possible so that we can chose to continue to work from home to try reduce pollution levels further?
