Environmental pioneers

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has accepted seven more Northeast Area facilities into its pres­tigious National Performance Track. The Northeast Area now has 28 facilities in the National Performance Track program, the EPA’s most comprehensive environmental leadership program. Members voluntarily adopt environ­mental practices that include improving habitat protection, water and energy use, and waste reduction. The newly named facilities include the Cambridge, MA, Central Square Post Office; the Springfield, MA, Bulk Mail Center/P&DC; the Southern Connecticut P&DC; the Portsmouth, NH, P&DC; the Waterbury, CT, Vehicle Maintenance Facil­ity (VMF); the Manchester, NH, VMF; and the Schenectady, NY, Post Office.
