NUMMI Receives EPA Award
Kudos to NUMMI, who recently received an Energy Star Plant Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They were one of three Toyota manufacturing facilities that received this award for their commitment and leadership in protecting the environment through energy efficiency. It is the first time the EPA has given the Energy Star Plant Award.

The plants' efforts in installing energy-efficient fluorescent lighting, reducing paint shop hours, and eliminating certain sections of paint operations to reduce energy use all were considerations in the awards.
