Utah Tries Four-Day Week To Curb Energy Use

by Jenny Brundin, NPR

In an effort to save energy, Utah has become the first state in the nation to have the majority of its state employees go to a four day week.

Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman says the move will also reduce the state's carbon footprint and give state employees more work flexibility.
