Energy Outreach Program
Energy Outreach Program
The Northeast and Caribbean Region celebrated the 42nd anniversary of Earth Day with earth-friendly events and activities including a special energy/environmental fair in the lobby of the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building in New York City on April 24, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
More than 27 energy-related vendors have been invited to exhibit their products and services and provide information on energy and water conservation to the thousands of employees and visitors who work at the building. Seedlings will be planted by children of the building’s child care center to help them obtain a better understanding of the life cycle of plants. Finally, one of the government’s alternative fuel vehicles from the federal fleet will be on display so federal employees and the public will have the opportunity to learn about the latest in alternative fuel automotive technology.
