Government wide 40% Savings on Electricity
Implement a policy which requires ALL government agencies to use energy efficient light bulbs. Electricity is the most widely used energy source within government. Not only will this reduce the costs of electric when being used, but will also reduce the costs when lighting is left on while "not" being occupied by someone.

Motion Sensitive Cubicle Lighting
Every work cubicle/station has individual lighting. If an employee does not turn out their cubicle lights at the end of their day, they stay on. By installing motion sensors on the lights in each cubicle we would save a lot of expense and energy.

Motion Detector Lights
I would like to propose that all government offices and buildings be outfitted with motion detector lights. These lights switch on when needed and can save a great deal of money.

Electricity
At the office where I work I feel the amount of electricity wasted is quite high. Usually lights are left on long after people leave and sometimes overnight with no one there. Most times the computers are never turned off and climate control is not in our hands. I feel small improvements, such as motion sensitive lighting and the automatic non-use shutdown of computers, could save a great amount of funds.
