FEMP Year in Review 2003 - EERE - U.S. Department of Energy

Federal agencies marked Earth Day and Energy Awareness Month
by promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy through the
distribution of posters and other awareness materials at local and
regional events. Agencies celebrated Earth Day 2003 by conveying
the message that each individual, by taking actions to conserve
energy, has the power to make a world of difference. For Energy
Awareness Month, federal personnel were encouraged that, by using
energy wisely every day, we can make energy efficiency an integral
part of the American values and culture.
Energy Expo
To help educate staff and share information about their own energy
management activities and programs, agencies participated in a
number of federal conferences and expositions, the largest being
Energy 2003: “Real World, Real Solutions” held during August in
Orlando, Florida. The three-day workshop was sponsored by FEMP
and co-sponsored by the General Services Administration and the
Department of Defense. The workshop was attended by more than
1,500 public and private-sector participants, and featured specialized
learning tracks on Acquisition, Energy Security, New Technologies,
Energy Markets, and Transportation. A trade show featured more
than 100 vendors exhibiting the latest products and services.
FEMP’s next annual workshop will be held August 8-11, 2004 in
Rochester, New York.
Outreach materials featuring
patriotic themes helped to
promote energy independence
and security by encouraging
the increased use of
renewable resources.
