The US Army has rolled out a "triple bottom line" that talks about community engagement and sustainability. But here's a question: what about the Army's independent contractors? They seem to have only one bottom line, their own profitability.

From This is my USA: "The Army has adopted a strategy called “Triple Bottom Line—Plus.” The three bottom lines are: mission, environment and community. The "plus" stands for economic benefits that sustainability proffers, including reduced costs and impacts and accelerated innovation.

On March 6, I was invited to participate in a conference call with Tad Davis, the Army's Deputy Assistant Secretary of Environment, Safety and Occupational Health.

Davis helped start Army sustainability in 2001 at Fort Bragg. Since then, he's progressively been working to develop an Army-wide sustainability concept.

"Our Army, your Army, is building green, buying green and going green," Davis said."
