Sustainable Development Has Local Impact
Speaker to Highlight Role of Concrete Industry in Growing Trend
CITY (DATE) — Sustainable development, the concept of building
for today and tomorrow without depleting future resources, is a
growing national trend that is impacting local businesses. [SPEAKER
NAME, COMPANY, TITLE], is at the helm of local efforts to increase
sustainable development practices through the use of concrete, a
durable and energy-efficient building material that can be used
to build long-term structures and lessen a community’s demand
on its environment.
[SPEAKER LAST NAME] will address [ORGANIZATION] members [DATE/TIME]
at [LOCATION] where s/he will discuss the importance of sustainable
development and illustrate local examples of "green" buildings.
“U.S. buildings use nearly 10 percent of the world’s energy and consume, on average, three times more energy than similar buildings in similar climates in Europe,” said [SPEAKER LAST NAME]. “The building and design industries have now been challenged to create durable buildings
with optimal energy performance throughout the building’s
lifecycle.”
Many federal, state and local government agencies are encouraging sustainable
development by participating in “green building” programs
which offer incentives for for private development of environmentally friendly structures. Green buildings are those that demonstrate the efficient use of energy, water and materials; limit impact on the outdoor environment; and provide a healthier indoor environment.
Sustainable development practices acknowledge the overall energy use throughout the life cycle of a building including material acquisition, manufacture, construction, operational performance and reuse and recycling.
Concrete’s durability and energy efficiency is visible to
members of the community in many local construction, development,
and infrastructure projects. [LOCAL COMPANY] is working closely
with the cement industry to spearhead many new and exciting initiatives
focusing on manufacturing improvements, quality and sustainability
of construction, and contributing to a better environment.
