Energy awareness campaign announced
You knew it all along. When you want something done, you have to do it yourself.
We tried to craft an energy savings strategy that would work statewide – for everyone, in every agency, in every one of Ohio’s 88 counties. But when it comes down to it, the truth about energy is that we each use it differently, we each value it differently, and we each have our unique trade-offs when it comes to reducing energy waste. Garages, residence facilities, campgrounds, data centers, mule barns, kitchens and office buildings are just some of the diverse spaces owned and operated by state agencies. It seems unlikely that there will be just one simple action – or even one best way – that is likely to work for all.
So, without further adieu, the State Energy Strategy Team is proud to kick off – your campaign to reduce energy use in state facilities. Find what works, share with others, whether you’re flying solo or working as part of an agency team, this is your initiative, and this Website will be the place to come for help, for resources and for celebrating progress.
We look forward to sharing your successes, learning from them, and participating in solutions that help us reach the goals of reducing Ohio’s energy use 5% by July 2007 – and 15% by July 2011.
Oh, and if your agency finds that one best way, we hope you’ll post it here.
