When WFH began, I stopped taking the subway into the city every day and instead spent a lot more time driving around the suburbs. My car's mileage and my ecological footprint went way up. You can't just make up a statement and have it be true.
I too have an anecdote. If only someone had done research on the topic and we had a way to search for it.

Interesting, for me it was the opposite.
When I had to go back to the office, I started burning cooking oil and truck tires in my backyard every weekend, so my ecological footprint increased significantly
For me, working from home meant eating endangered species for lunch seven days a week instead of just two. Checkmate, liberals.
You are so clearly the exception is should not even have to be made clear.
Lol, "my personal anecdotal story, means someone else is crazy and wrong, despite me having no other evidence either."
What are you doing where you have to drive around aimlessly?
Did the people collating stats forget to take into account your hobbies? I feel like there was nothing forcing you to drive aimlessly around the burbs more than you would have normally outside of work, shopping and errands taking the same time as normal.
The world is not flat, stop spreading misinformation.
