Leading by Example: The Federal Government's Sustainable Future Posted by Administrator Martha N. Johnson on January 20, 2011 at 12:30 PM EST
2010 was a historic year for the General Services Administration (GSA). With a portfolio including 350 million square feet of public buildings, 200,000 federal vehicles, and a flow of goods and services throughout government totaling $95 billion, GSA has the capacity to impact every corner of government in every region of the country. In 2010, President Obama set a bold agenda for GSA to change the way the government does business by:
• Creating jobs and supporting American businesses by leading the Federal government to a sustainable future;
• Identifying sustainable products ranging from vehicles to cleaning products that will reduce the Federal government’s environmental footprint and save millions of taxpayer dollars; and,
• Laying the framework for an emerging clean energy economy.
