And this is why the 4 hr workday is a bad idea.
The author states this as a plus because there would be less pollution. But to develop a viable solution to pollution, people are going to have to work on the problem more than 20 hrs a week.
The IWW was struggling for a 4-hour workday, 4 days a week. Yet you assumed 20 hrs a week.
For what it's worth, it depends on the job. For myself I would like anything from a 30 hour work week/6 hour work day to every Friday being a half-day (a 4-hour day if you will.) I'm open to different possibilities.
For those professions where the 4-hour work day is impractical, I think they should get additional days off per year. Say every other Friday off. Or a month off at full pay per year. Whatever is feasible. These are just examples mind you.
