MISSION
The USGBC-LI is committed to working with our fellow Long Islanders to improve our quality of life by improving the quality of the structures we build and the environment in which we all live, work and play.  We are committed to leaving the world a little better than we found it so that future generations have an unfettered opportunity to do the same.

We are also committed to delivering the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit (social, environmental and economic benefits).

From The Editor
