Wednesday, September 1, 2010 - 00:00
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is encouraging students and their parents to support the environment by shopping for back-to-school clothes and supplies at retail stores that have earned the ENERGY STAR label.
Through ENERGY STAR, EPA works with nearly 150 retail companies across the country—including 40 of the Top 100 U.S. retailers—to help them manage energy use, lower utility bills, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Together, ENERGY STAR partners, including Kohl’s Department Stores, JCPenney, Verizon Wireless, Staples, and Target have more than 900 ENERGY STAR labeled stores in 48 states, making it easy to shop green from coast to coast.
