Yesterday, an old government colleague of mine who is now a lobbiest, emailed me to ask if I knew the new "Chief Greening Officer" at our old agency. Seriously. Obama created that position for all federal agencies. Apparently, the chief greening officer, who is in charge of overseeing sustainability efforts within all agency-owned and leased buildings is to "strive to meet [Obama's] commitment of achieving a zero environmental footprint.” That is about the most vague internal job description I've ever heard. Then, I read the title-linked article and realized, the appointment of Chief Greening Officers in all agencies is just a drop in the green bucket. What an absolute waste of time and resources.
