China has told its government departments to cut their electricity and water
consumption by 20 percent by 2010, Xinhua News Agency reported on Saturday.
The edict from the central government was even stricter on energy usage by
office buildings, which had to fall more than 20 percent by 2010 from 2005
levels.
"According to the notice, government institutions should play a leading role
in reducing resources consumption and guide the consumption mode of society,"
Xinhua said.
The notice also applied to vehicle fuel, Xinhua said, without giving details.
