As the leader in understanding and predicting changes in the Earth's environment and managing coastal and marine resources, NOAA has the opportunity to be a leader in promoting the sustainable use of Earth's resources. Practicing and demonstrating environmentally sound business practices can and should become an intrinsic part of NOAA's organizational culture that is apparent to our employees and surrounding communities.

The NOAA's energy program focuses on reducing NOAA's consumption of energy, natural resources, and manufactured materials, as well as its contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, other air and water pollution, and landfills.
