The biggest takeaway here for me is that we collectively achieved something previously considered impossible: by making different behavioral choices, as a species, we achieved the largest cut in CO2 emissions in 75 years.

It's tragic that only the threat of a deadly disease could compel such a change, but perhaps we may find other levers to help us achieve such widespread beneficial changes in the future?

We live in economies that rely on consumption. So it isn’t exactly strange that we make the “behavioral choices” that we do during normal times.

There’s been plenty of fretting regarding slowing down the economy, and for good reason.
