As part of the Shapiro Administration's commitment to protecting Pennsylvanians' constitutional rights to clean air and pure water, lowering energy costs, and creating energy jobs, the Pennsylvania GreenGov Council today kicked off the Commonwealth's fourth annual Sustainability Week. The Pennsylvania GreenGov Council – co-chaired by the Secretaries of the Departments of General Services, Environmental Protection, and Conservation and Natural Resources – encourages the incorporation of environmentally sustainable practices into the Commonwealth's policy, planning, operations, procurement, and regulatory functions.   To kick off the week, Department of General Services (DGS) Secretary Reggie McNeil and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn signed a new Guaranteed Energy Savings Act (GESA) contract with McClure Company, a Harrisburg-based mechanical construction, engineering and energy service firm. The contract represents the third phase of GESA improvements to Pennsylvania's public land infrastructure, focusing on energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reduction across 38 state parks and five forest districts. The initiative is expected to cut emissions by 1,900 tons per year and save the Commonwealth $40.42 million in energy costs over the next two decades. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eMXrpubD

A message from Jeff Stackhouse, Bureau of Facilities Management, on National Custodial Worker Day.   Today, October 2nd, marks National Custodial Worker Day - a meaningful opportunity for us to express our gratitude to our dedicated custodial staff at DGS Facilities Management. Their tireless efforts to maintain our buildings’ cleanliness, safety, and readiness do not go unnoticed.   While many of us work in offices or attend meetings, our custodial staff is diligently managing heavy trash bags, mop buckets, and vacuuming, all while ensuring that recycling and waste are handled appropriately. Their roles are crucial, yet the labor-intensive nature of their work poses significant challenges. Custodians often face one of the highest rates of job-related injuries, including slips, falls, and musculoskeletal disorders that can lead to chronic pain affecting both their professional and personal lives.   We want to take this moment to sincerely acknowledge and appreciate the invaluable contributions of our custodial team. If you encounter a custodial worker in your building today, please take a moment to thank them for their hard work. A simple expression of appreciation can go a long way in motivating and uplifting our staff, reinforcing the importance of their commitment and sacrifices.   Thank you for joining us in recognizing and honoring our custodial staff today.
