US Postmaster General John Potter is launching a year-long campaign to increase awareness and create results for energy conservation. Potter called on employees, suppliers and partners in the mailing industry to increase efforts to "go green." His statements came during a special "unplugged" event at Postal Service corporate headquarters, recognizing October as National Energy Awareness Month. The Postal Service has a stated goal of reducing energy use 30 percent by 2015, he said, a further demonstration of the organization's commitment to environmental stewardship. Scheduled capital investments will be made annually in energy conservation measures, primarily for lighting and HVAC upgrades.
