Heating/Cooling - Cut Thermostat Up to 10 degrees
I noticed people wearing coats/sweaters in the summer. By setting thermostat back up to 10 degrees saves up to 20% on Cooling/Heating bill. We conserve energy where ever possible at home; the same should apply at work.

Alternating - Light Bulbs (Turn off every other bulb).
We may be using Fluorescent light bulbs, but we should continue to alternate bulb use like we did prior to using Fluorescent light bulbs. We should keep some lights bulbs Off while others light bulbs are On (alternating bulbs). Thus still providing enough lighting to do the job while conserving Electricity; Reducing lighting where necessary.

Eliminate Automatic Step Increases
This is something that should be implemented Sooner than later. Too often I see under achievers get automatic increases in their pay when they do not perform the basics of their job. This would save Billions and would also put the federal workforce on notice. Do you job or don’t get a raise.

FED IPHONE APPs
Have more Federal Agencies have IPhone App's.
This would allow greater and quicker access and enhance learning of fellow agencies. This would also allow more transparency and allow faster public access. We could have our computers streamline the information and delegate out the information.

FEDERAL E-LIBRARY
Have like a federal e-library where all information is stored such as all HR, magazine subscriptions, news articles, etc. that employees can access to read. This would cut the cost of subscriptions and have a common communication site for all employees. Labeled Icons could be used instead of menus.
