Simon Property Group, owner of the Roosevelt Field, The Mall at The Source, Walt Whitman Mall and Smith Haven Mall, along with hundreds of other shopping centers nationwide, has done its part to contribute to the “going green” movement. Thanks to the creation and deployment of its state-of-the-art energy efficiency practices, Simon has saved nearly 68,000 , metric tons of carbon emissions from being disbursed into the atmosphere. Simon’s Long Island malls collectively reduced carbon emissions by 3,054 tons – equal to the addition of 5757 acres of forests or taking 533 cars off the street of Long Island in 2008.

Why They Made the Move:

“We’re proud that our efforts were recognized when Simon was named a 2008 Energy Star Partner of the Year by the Environmental Protection Agency for outstanding energy management and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions at its malls across the country,” says George Caraghiaur, VP of Energy Services at Simon Property Group. “ We will continue to implement programs and policies to contribute to the greening of Long Island.
