Gettin' It Done - 31

A 30% reduction in transport fuel consumption translates to saving $7 Billion/year just for the US Military.  Applied to the whole of the Government Facility, that 30% reduction saves enough money in one year to rebuild every elementary school in the US, and to keep Big Bird on the air for another 99 Gazillion fucking years.
31. Pushed Federal Agencies to Be Green Leaders: Issued executive order in 2009 requiring all federal agencies to make plans to soften their environmental impacts by 2020. Goals include 30 percent reduction in fleet gasoline use, 26 percent boost in water efficiency, and sustainability requirements for 95 percent of all federal contracts. Because federal government is the country’s single biggest purchaser of goods and services, likely to have ripple effects throughout the economy for years to come.
Pound sand, Willard.
