Honeywell Backs President On New Greenhouse Gas Targets
President Barack Obama continued to use his executive authority to mitigate global warming Thursday with an executive order for federal agencies that was quickly endorsed by Honeywell, General Electric, Northrop Grumman and several other major U.S. companies.
After the president signed an executive order to cut the federal government’s greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent over the next 10 years from the time he took office in 2008, Honeywell announced it would reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 10 percent by 2019.
