Companies should implement 4 on 3 off, a 10 hr work schedule. It eliminates 1 day of driving weekly and more time with the family.
On average, each vehicle emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide yearly. Each person drives around 11,500 annually on an average 22 miles per gallon. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2.
I did maths.
An extra day off elminates 1,638 miles. That's 74.45 gallons not used resulting in an elimination of 661,637.15 grams of CO2 not burned. Best of all, 10.4 extra weeks of idle time not a slave to the system.
