    With this Executive order, the Federal facilities will set the 
example for the rest of the country and become the leader in applying 
pollution prevention to daily operations, purchasing decisions, and 
policies. In the process, Federal facilities will reduce toxic 
emissions, which helps avoid cleanup costs and promotes clean 
technologies.
