Buildings consume 40 percent of the world's energy, 25 percent of wood harvest, and account for 16 percent of water consumption, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's Center of Excellence for Sustainable Development. Sustainable building saves resources and provides economic and health benefits to owners, occupants and community.1

Visit these links for more information with a focus on sustainable building but touching on everything from sustainable agriculture to sustainable zookeeping.
