Environmental Sustainability

• Strive to achieve Environmental Sustainability.
• Army USACE policies require all military
  projects to have minimum sustainable design
  goals.
• Sustainable Design Design, construction,
  operation, and reuse/removal of the built
  environment (including infrastructure
  buildings) in an environmentally energy
  efficient manner.
• BE SUSTAINABLE
• NEVER LET TODAY USE UP TOMORROW
