Polaroid, Home Depot, Staples and 30 other organizations will get awards from EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on April 14 in Washington, D.C. for their voluntary leadership in reducing energy use and preventing pollution in common-sense, cost-effective ways. EPA’s Climate Protection Division and DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy will recognize the energy efficiency investments made by these Energy Star Partners that improved their profitability and contributed to a cleaner environment. Energy Star identifies the most energy-efficient products and buildings available to businesses and consumers; this makes it easy for them to choose equipment and initiate building upgrades that save money and cut air and global warming pollution, thereby reducing the need for energy and power generation.
