Postal Service the first federal agency to report greenhouse gas emissions

Modernizing processing plants, retiring inefficient vehicles

By Evan Morier Oct 16 2009, 08:32 AM

The US Postal Service just became the first and only federal agency to measure and report its impact on climate change. Though the USPS only emits 1/20 of one percent of the nation's greenhouse gases, it has set a goal to reduce those emissions 20 percent by 2020.

The announcement comes on the heels of an executive order from President Obama requiring improved sustainability at federal agencies.
