And further on our Earth Day theme: Clean Air Campaign executive director Kevin Green is on a mission to get Georgia companies to adopt ?compressed workweeks.? That's when employees work four 10-hour days—reducing carbon emissions from commuters. Kevin cites the example of Lathem Time, an Atlanta manufacturer that implemented its CWW program in 2005 because of soaring gas prices.
