Clean Air Illinois
Like municipalities and counties, state and federal government departments
and agencies share many characteristics with businesses and other institutions.
Government agencies like the General Services Administration and Center
Management Services employ many individuals and own, maintain, and improve
multiple buildings and properties. These government bodies also have
the opportunity to broaden their impact through leading by example, exercising
their regulatory and enforcement authority, and influencing economic
development and land use decisions.
State and federal governments can
employ all of the applicable strategies embodied in the Clean Air
Business, Industries, and Institutions Campaign, as well as enable
through legislation
and other policies, additional strategies that significantly reduce
current and future emission generating activities. Additionally, this
campaign
can stimulate more intergovernmental partnerships and regional cooperation. |
