Government to Cut Carbon Emissions Across Federal Agencies
Barack Obama signed an executive order directing the federal government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent from 2008 levels within ten years and to raise renewable energy use to 30 percent of federal electricity. Major suppliers like Honeywell IBM and General Electric pledging to cut about 5 million metric tons over the same period. Overall U.S. emissions would fall by 26 million tons by 2025, roughly equivalent to removing 5.5 million cars’ yearly output.
