Think green

By the year 2030, the U.S. population is expected to grow by 63 million—resulting in an increased demand for housing, buildings and roads. Yet, at the same time, our society is struggling to balance these construction needs today with critical environmental priorities. As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, the Portland Cement Association has announced an initiative to recognize public officials who take the lead in “green” building. The annual “Sustainable Leadership Awards” will honor government leaders who advance sustainable development in their communities through the use of concrete and cement-based products. PCA encourages all members of the concrete industry to submit nominations. Your comment?
