The companies include Boeing, PepsiCo, Eastman Kodak, Intertape Polymer Group Corp., and 3M.

In April of this year the EAP reported that these companies have prevented nearly 119,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. "Many of these sites also report that savings were achieved at low cost by strengthening energy management practices and improving operations with help from EPA's Energy Star program."

But there a lot of work to be done since the manufacturing sector is responsible for nearly 30% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and spends nearly $100 billion annually on energy, according to an article on Environmental Leader.
