Make working from home a legal right to help cut co2 emissions.

What the petition asks

Make it a legal right for employees to work from home if viable for them to do so with office working only when there is a business need.
Climate change is effecting us all, we need to cut co2 output & cutting out unnecessary commutes to work would help cut millions of tons every year. If you can work at home the same way as at work then it should be law to do so.
