Employee Education Toolkit
This off-the-shelf resource provides everything you need to host a brown bag session to educate employees about energy use, its impact on the environment, and what they can do to help. With this toolkit, you can: use the ready-made PowerPoint presentation and speaker notes to deliver a fun, interactive 60-minute training session for employees and co-workers; customize an HTML e-mail template and flyer to advertise the brown bag session; and order free posters, tip cards, and checklists from EPA to display in your break room or hand out to employees to remind them of everyday steps they can take to reduce energy use.

ENERGY STAR @ work – Tour a Manufacturing Plant!
EPA is pleased to unveil a new companion tool to the ENERGY STAR @ work animated office cubicle – an animated manufacturing plant. Similar to the animated cubicle, this version of ENERGY STAR @ work is an animated image of a small to medium size manufacturing plant with interactive tips and links to valuable information employees can use on a daily basis—from lighting to shutdown procedures. Manufacturing in the U.S. accounts for about one-third of greenhouse gas emissions and the workplace offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact in the fight against climate change.
