2020 Carbon Footprint Reduction Mandate Includes Federal Government as well as Industry

Exerpt from a theenergycollective.com post.. Setting a leadership path: Obama Executive Order on Federal Energy

Today, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order that builds on 13423 and builds on the funding from the stimulus package to accelerate the Federal government toward more aggressive sustainability goals across energy efficiency, reduced oil consumption, water conservation, waste reduction, and the use of Federal purchasing power to increase the speed of market adoption of environmentally-responsible products and technologies.
