Sustainability demystified To design something to work over the long haul, without bumps and hiccups, it has to: • Enhance the mission, • Save money (make a profit), • Improve quality of life, • AND enhance natural resources.
A sustainable installation … • Supports long-term mission viability and integrity • Ensures well-being of soldiers and their families • Enjoys mutually beneficial relationships with local communities • Operates efficiently and cost effectively • Sustains natural resources and the environment
“One of the myths I want to dispel about sustainability is that we can't afford it. That's not only wrong, it's dead wrong. We can't afford not to do it. One of the factors that drove us to sustainability was economics - having to do more with fewer resources. Some up-front investment may be required, but in the long term, it will reduce our operational costs.” Mr. Tad Davis DASA-ESOH Jan 06
