In the area of energy efficiency we ask for reports on the extent to which the use of energy is being reduced and on energy efficiency. My suggestion would be similar. The EPA could suggest a framework that would be relatively easy to apply and people would then be required to report against that framework. We would then start to get some sort of benchmark of where we are and a steady improvement would be seen.
