County employees to sign pledges to reduce their environmental impact - Salt Lake Tribune
The pledges are a precursor to a more ambitious initiative known as HELP! (Healthy Environmental Lifestyles Program), which will award energy-saving employees with up to three vacation days annually.
That program -- which will be presented to the County Council in late spring or early summer -- calls on county workers to shave their own energy use 20 percent.
"We're reaching to a limit that is achievable," Corroon said, "but not easy."
The initiative will reward employees for leaving their automobiles at home, reducing home heating and electrical use and studying literature about climate change and low-emission lifestyles.

Getting people to commit incrementally kind of makes sense. They may be trying to get people to be into the for a penny -- in for a pound mindset. Kind of like the 'fake shock therapy experiment' that was was actually testing the person hitting the shock button to see how far they could be pushed.
