EARTH DAY: Preserving the environment From Page 1 the celebration gives him to educate people about pro- tecting Northeast Florida’s natural resources. ‘’This also shows the communi- ty that the Navy is work- ing hard to ensure that the environment is preserved so it is thriving for future generations,” commented Brownfield. “Educating peo- ple on ways that they can help is a rewarding experi- ence. This isn’t just a 9 to 5 job for us. We promote it and we live it.” Several Northeast Florida residents stopped by the booth to learn about the Navy’s environmental ini- tiatives while their children grabbed the free goodies the team had out on the table. One of the items on dis- play at the celebration was the General Electric Motorcar (GEM) which is used at NAS Jax as a pol- lution prevention initiative. The unique vehicle runs on electricity only. Jacksonville resident Courtney Gay, 7, was visiting the celebration with her family and took the opportunity to learn a bit about the GEM. “I had a lot of fun learning about the car and getting to sit in it was pretty fun. It looks like a toy car,” said Gay. The Navy has recognized NAS Jacksonville’s environ- mental protection programs as being among the best. They’ve undertaken several initiatives to preserve our natural resources including conservation education of the station’s military and civilian work force and the children who visit the NAS Jacksonville Interpretive Center and two nature trails. Also recognized is the base’s forest management program which includes conversion from slash to longleaf pines to increase the gopher tortoise habitats. Fish and wildlife protection also occurs through relo- cation of species to accom- plish mission goals, making brush piles to increase hab- itat and providing signage to educate people. Annual shoreline clean ups are also held to maintain the sta- tion’s beautiful shores. The first Earth Day cel- ebration began in 1970 as part of a nationwide grass- roots demonstration. The United States recognizes Earth Day on April 22, how- ever many of the events cel- ebrating this day are held throughout the week. CLEANUP: Volunteers collect two truckloads From Page 1 this event to keep our shoreline clean and safe,” said Bauer. Two truckloads of trash and other debris totaling approximately 3,000 pounds was collected and hauled off base by the 1st Lieutenant Division where it will be properly disposed of. “It is great to see sup- port for this event year after year. There is a big improvement in the way our shoreline looks after this clean up,” added Assistant Natural Resource Manager Angela Glass. Volunteers paddled their way back into the marina with canoes full of trash. “Cleaning the environ- ment means a lot to me and by volunteering for the shoreline cleanup I got to see a lot of beautiful ani- mals including a manatee. I’m doing my part to help protect wildlife from pol- lution,” said ABE2(AW) Joseph Rivas. After the clean up, the volunteers were treated to free hotdogs, hamburgers, chips and drinks courtesy of the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Mulberry Cove Marina. The marina also donated the boats, grill and pavilion in support of the clean up effort which was truly a huge success.
