Sustainability also involves taking action now to provide a future where the environment and living conditions are protected and enhanced. To this end, NASA implements sustainability practices that balance economic vitality (stewardship of public funds), environmental responsibility (protection of natural systems), and the needs of people (promotion of workforce and community well-being). These practices combine long-term planning and resource optimization, and risk management to provide a path towards accomplishing the mission in a responsible manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JSC has been working on sustainability projects in one form or another for over 20 years and continues implementing projects to realize the Center\u2019s Sustainability Vision. To reach federal targets and NASA\u2019s goals, JSC aims to integrate sustainability into everyday decision-making and activities. JSC\u2019s sustainability program is divided into six resource categories:<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/jsc-sustainability-image2_0.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/jsc-sustainability-image2_0.png?w=985\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"jsc sustainability\" style=\"transform: scale(1);

The Zoo utilizes a portion of JSC\u2019s Texas coastal prairie landscape to breed the birds in field pens that closely resemble their natural habitat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JSC is partially powered by an on-site Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant. Compared to grid power and gas-fired boilers, this plant achieves significantly higher energy efficiency by greatly reducing electricity transmission losses and using otherwise wasted heat energy to generate steam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JSC\u2019s free-range bicycle program offers employees access to over 300 bicycles while on-site. This program provides an emissions-free alternative to driving when employees need to commute across the 1600-acre campus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JSC\u2019s location off of Clear Lake, a body of water feeding into Galveston Bay, makes the Center particularly vulnerable to climate change, especially flooding. JSC has implemented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/feature\/esnt\/2020\/nasa-centers-on-the-coast-grapple-with-sea-level-rise\" rel=\"noopener\">mitigation measures<\/a> such as adding flood doors and raising air tunnel intakes to prevent disruption of operations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JSC\u2019s shake and fold initiative aims to reduce the volume of one of the most common waste items at JSC: discarded restroom paper towels. In addition to installing hand dryers in high traffic areas, JSC implemented this program to educate and reminds employees to use a paper towel efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div
