GSA seeks to green all that it touches


Acting administrator Prouty promises the agency will lead the nation in how they use environmentally friendly products and services.

From Cleveland to Baltimore to Richmond, the General Services Administration wants to put solar panels on roofs of the buildings it runs.

These are just a few examples of how every program GSA runs for now on will have a green, or environmentally friendly, component.

"We will be dealing with some emerging technology and emerging companies," says Paul Prouty, acting GSA administrator. "We will be trying some things that are very, very new. We are doing our metrics to submit to Office of Management Budget for our budget. Generally those metrics are pretty refined.

Prouty says GSA wants to lead the country in using green products and services.
