EPA Recognizes Southern California Gas Co. with 2010 ‘ENERGY STAR Excellence’ Award The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named Southern California Gas Co. the winner of a 2010 Excellence in ENERGY STAR Promotion Award for its outstanding contributions to energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through its consumer education efforts promoting energy-efficient products and services.
Southern California Gas Co. was recognized at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., March 18.
An ENERGY STAR partner for more than 10 years, Southern California Gas Co. was honored for its work in promoting the "Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR" national campaign last year. Southern California Gas Co. invited other utilities to be co-sponsors, making it the first time the Los Angeles-area campaign was promoted by multiple utilities.
As part of the campaign sponsorship, a 30-foot-by-50-foot ENERGY STAR Exhibit House was featured in the "Going Green" exhibit during the last five days of the 2009 Los Angeles County Fair, an event Southern California Gas Co. sponsors every year. Fair guests toured the exhibit to learn how they could save money, help protect the environment, and how the sponsoring utilities are working together to save energy in the community. "By creatively promoting ENERGY STAR, partners like Southern California Gas Co. are making it easy for consumers to find energy-efficient products in the marketplace," said Gina McCarthy, EPA assistant administrator for air and radiation. "Organizations such as Southern California Gas Co. demonstrate their leadership by showing Americans how they can protect our environment through energy efficiency." |
