At first glance, working from home might seem more sustainable than working in an office. In some ways, it is — no car commutes and fewer disposable lunch containers. However, there are some environmental impacts of remote work that can be higher than those of office work. Swipe through the images to learn more.

To commemorate the 1906 Earthquake, and in honor of current circumstances, Degenkolb wanted to focus on the resiliency of the people in the days, weeks, months, and years after the quake: the ways they helped each other and how they rebuilt the city. 
We are always in this together.
Whatever century we’re in, whatever disaster we’re trying to survive, we are resilient and will persevere. We are #InThisTogether and #ResilientTogether. (Part 2/2)
