I got this from one of the mailing lists I am on… I am simply cut-and-pasting the “talking points” file that was sent. See the link below to the official website.
The GreenGov Challenge
Talking Points
October 16, 2009
- On Monday, October 5th, 2009, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order on Federal Sustainability – and in doing so, committed the Federal government to lead by example, practice what we preach and help build a clean energy economy through how we operate.
- To harness the collective wisdom of the more than 1.8 million civilian employees and our men and women in uniforms, we’re launching the GreenGov Challenge, an online participatory way for federal employees to suggest clean energy ideas and vote on others.
- From October 19th until October 31st, any federal employee can submit a clean energy idea to WhiteHouse.gov/GreenGov.
- At the beginning of November, some of the top ideas will be presented to the Steering Committee on Federal Sustainability – a group comprised of a senior official from each agency who are responsible for delivering among other things, each agency’s sustainability plan.
- Though anyone can see the ideas, only federal employees can participate – so this is their chance to positively impact how their agency will meet its 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.
- The great ideas that will drive us towards success will not all come from Washington. They’ll come from Ft. Hood in Texas, or EPA operations in Seattle. They’ll come from people like you.
- Be part of the GreenGov Challenge and help green our government!
