Energy Strategy Promotes Culture of Conservation

By Commander, Navy Region Southeast Public Affairs

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (NNS) -- Commander, Navy Region Southeast, announced the release of the region's 2011-2013 Energy Strategy in a podcast video, April 21.

The Energy Strategy is part of an ongoing effort to change behaviors from a culture of consumption to a culture of conservation. Aggressive conservation efforts aboard Region Southeast installations will enable the region to meet the secretary of the Navy's goal of three percent energy usage reduction per year, and a 30 percent reduction by 2015, relative to 2003.

The video message is available at www.cnic.navy.mil/cnrse and www.facebook.com/navyregionse.

Also available online are the Energy Strategy brochure and a quick reference card that Sailors, civilian employees, retirees, and family members can download. The brochure outlines the region's energy goals and the quick reference card provides specific recommendations on how everyone can help reduce energy consumption.
