Eliot Spitzer

Since taking office as New York's governor in January, Spitzer got right to work greening the place up. He's started with a complete retrofitting of the 39-room governor's mansion, overhauling everything from the light bulbs to the lawn mowers, and has his sights set on more state buildings for the next round of greening. Prior to his election, he spent eight years crusading for environmental protection as New York's attorney general, suing the Bush administration numerous times over failure to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions, mercury pollution from power plants, pesticide use in public housing, and efficiency standards for appliances.
