Four-day work week saves energy and reduces carbon emission.

GOOD.is covered Utah’s move a year ago to a 3-day weekend for government employees and the results are in. The 4-day, 10 hour per day, work week has resulted in the following:

1. Energy saving and reduction in carbon emissions.

2. Traffic reduction and commuter health.

3. Budget boost.

4. Happier, healthier work force.

5. Economic stimulus trough savings.

No. 1 sounds promising for the environment. We’d love to be in the condition described in No. 4. We hope our congressmen are reading blogs. :)

  • As a chimney service technician in Seattle, I like how the government has been saving money as well as helping us save money and be more green for both. Like the 30% tax credit for energy and carbon efficient wood, gas, and pellet stoves. You can get 30% or up to $1500 on the TOTAL cost to buy and install it. Talk to a chimney sweep for more information. If you’re in the king county area check out Pristine Sweeps for the most informative chimney sweep seattle offers!

  • Good if the four day work will be implemented. I can enjoy my whole family and kids doing picnic at the park. find
