"Through EPA's Climate Leaders program, America's leading companies are proving that reducing greenhouse gas emissions can help boost the bottom line," said Marcus Peacock, EPA Deputy Administrator. "We applaud these partners for joining the Bush Administration's aggressive and practical strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
