An energy consultant told suppliers that saving energy can start with something as simple as turning off the lights on soft drink and snack machines.


Fred Schoeneborn, an Environmental Protection Agency energy consultant, told the Associated Press, after touring Nissan’s assembly plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, that everyone in the workplace has to be involved.


He noted Nissan had lights in vending machines unlit, in addition to numerous other reductions in lighting and use of equipment.


The plant builds the Altima coupe and sedan, Frontier pickup, Xterra sport utility vehicle, Pathfinder SUV, and Maxima sedan and Nissan has another assembly facility in Canton, Mississippi.
