“Our environmental award winners have demonstrated, once again, that the Navy remains committed to leading change,” Roughead said. “And will always seek to expand the circle of people taking action in the interests of our environment, our navy, and our nation.”
CNO observed that the awardees were leading the way to implement Navy-wide culture change.
“What strikes me as I reflect on the advances we have made in environmental stewardship over the course of my tenure as CNO is that we are beginning to turn away from a culture of consumption and are now picking up speed towards one of conservation, supported by our crucial, concurrent work in energy and climate change, he said.”
