Greening the White House

President-elect Barack Obama plans to out-do Jimmy Carter’s solar panels with a White House makeover. In his recent interview with Barbara Walters, the prez-to-be said he will be “greening” the first family’s residence as a way to show Americans that it’s easy to make changes that benefit the environment. Even at his Chicago home, Obama unplugs high energy-wasting electronics and plans to do the same in Washington.
