Work less to save the environment. It's a slogan I can get behind.  :laugh:

But with all those folks running around enjoying life won't CO2 emissions rise?

And based on a news report I heard the other day, social loafing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_loafing accounts for 60% - 80% of worker time as it is.  Can you imagine what levels productivity would rise to if workers knew they could goof off on their own time?  Increase productivity and the polar bears drown - Algore told us so.

But the liberals want us to be more like the Europeans.  The choice seems to be between shorter work hours with less pay but more benefits paid for by higher taxes, or regularly scheduled wars.

stay safe.
