President Trump is starting his own government-wide environmental sustainability and energy efficiency program through an executive order he signed late on Thursday.
The order directs federal agencies to manage their buildings, vehicles, and overall operations in order to "optimize energy and environmental performance, reduce waste, and cut costs," according to the White House.
It also calls on the White House Council of Environmental Quality to streamline pre-existing environmental orders by "refocusing agencies on cost-effectively meeting mandates and goals" established by law, as opposed to executive fiat.

Seems reasonable to me.

CNN headline: Trump signs executive order attacking federal employees and still refuses to admit man-made climate change is killing children!

Sometimes I wonder if all the craziness is a planed distraction to take heat off of all the executive orders. People freak out when he calls gangs like MS-13 animals and no one pays attention to the changes he is making in government. If that is the case the guy is smarter than I even thought.

The White House pointed out that the federal government manages more than 350,000 buildings and 600,000 vehicles and is the largest consumer of energy in the nation. The federal government spent over $6 billion on energy for buildings and $635 million on water, it added.

This is environmentalism I can get behind.
The whole “cut costs” part has been left out for the previous administrations

Brilliant.
By making government smaller and more efficient we can do much more to clean the environment.
