Sustainability

• Defined by the The U.N.'s World Commission on
  Environment and Development as meeting the needs
  of the present without compromising the ability
  of future generations to meet their own needs
• Sustainable to create and maintain conditions,
  under which humans and nature can exist in
  productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the
  social, economic, and other requirements of
  present and future generations E.O. 13423

avings

• Compared to an average building, this building
  saves the equivalent of about 91,000 gallons of
  gasoline per year, or the amount of fuel required
  to drive 216 million automobile miles per year.
  Another perspective would be to say that compared
  to an average building, savings here is the
  electricity equivalent of 18 train cars of coal
  if their contents were burned to make
  electricity. Jim Powell Regional Director, DOE
