Through our Sustainable NREL program, we are committed to "walking the talk" by minimizing our use of resources (energy, materials, and water) while receiving the maximum value from resources used — along with balancing environmental, economic, and human impacts.

The goal of our Sustainable NREL Program is to institutionalize sustainability at the laboratory and make NREL a global model for sustainability. As a sustainable organization, NREL manages:

• Economic viability — efficient operations, prudent investments, and maximum value
• Environmental stewardship — minimal resource use, minimal waste/pollution, natural processes, renewable resources, and restoration
• Public responsibility — good neighbor, safe working environment, and education.

Bus Location: You need to be in the parking lot on 8th street off of Cimmaron just to the left of Hobby Lobby by 8:15 AM. There is a Ramblin' Express bench and that is the area in which you need to park. Lunch will be served on the bus on the way back from the tour which should wrap up around 1:00 pm and we will be back in Springs by about 3:00 pm.
