EPA Administrator Christie Whitman tomorrow will launch a new EPA program, Climate Leaders. Climate Leaders is part of the Administration’s climate change strategy announced last week by President Bush. Whitman will launch the program while recognizing charter members. The program challenges business to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and provides a significant opportunity to achieve the greenhouse gas intensity reductions set forth in the Administration’s new policy. Whitman will be joined by representatives from the charter members of the Climate Leaders program.

Whitman on Thursday will travel to Wisconsin to tour SC Johnson’s Waxdale Manufacturing Plant. SC Johnson is one of the charter members in the Climate Leaders program.
