National Sustainable Design Expo
featuring EPA's P3 Award
The National Sustainable Design Expo featuring EPA's P3 Award brings together students, nonprofit
organizations, and government agencies that are working to create a sustainable future. The Expo is a
unique opportunity to discover innovative, cutting-edge technologies, learn what nonprofit organizations and
government agencies are doing to advance sustainability, and recruit potential hires with backgrounds in
engineering, sciences, law, economics, and architecture. The Expo takes place each spring on the National
Mall in Washington, DC, and is open to the public.
Targeting Sustainability
In a world with increasing trends in water and energy use, consumption of goods and finite resources, we
need more creative ways of integrating environmental, economic and social goals. The task ahead is to
design a sustainable future that mutually achieves environmental protection, prosperity, and improved quality
of life through innovative science, technology and policy.
P3 (People, Prosperity and the Planet) National Student Design Competition
In 2004, EPA launched P3, a grant program aimed at fostering future generations of scientists, engineers, and
decision makers to meet the challenges of sustainability through innovative solutions. Unique in the federal
government, this program awards grants to teams of undergraduate and graduate students, along with their
faculty advisors, to design and develop solutions to sustainability challenges. The P3 Competition consists of two
phases. In Phase I, student teams compete for grants of $10,000 to research and develop their projects during
the academic year. In Phase II, the P3 grantees are invited to Washington, D.C., to compete for the P3 Awards
at the National Sustainable Design Expo. The awards provide an opportunity for funding to further develop and
implement the award-winning technologies.
Fostering Partnerships
More than 40 partners from government, industry and
nongovernmental organizations help implement the P3
competition. Many others are engaged as exhibitors,
participants, and speakers at the Design Expo.

Environmental Protection
Agency
As the world continues to change, EPA also continues to evolve. EPA
Administrator Stephen L. Johnson has said, "EPA is at a crossroads. Over
the Agency's 35 years, public perception of environmental stewardship
has evolved from "let the government take care of it" into each individual's
responsibility. EPA must now set this environmental agenda and highlight
the mechanism to increase the public role in stewardship."
With an eye toward the future, EPA is continuing to build its capacity to anticipate and analyze trends
that have implications for sustainability. An awareness of the environmental consequences of social,
economic and technological changes is critical for making better-informed strategic decisions about the
Agency's work in a rapidly changing world.
EPA has dozens of programs, policy tools and incentives that implement and encourage
sustainability. The agency is working in many ways to help individuals and organizations blend
these programs, improve industrial practices and assist states and local governments to manage
their resources effectively.
C JXJf i't
The mission of The Cloud Institute is to ensure the viability of sustainable
communities by leveraging changes in K-12 school systems to prepare young
people for the shift toward a sustainable future. We believe that K-12 education
can substantially influence beliefs, attitudes, values and behaviors related to
sustainability. This is the most fertile ground for helping to shape a society
committed to sustainable development.
We are the premier organization that equips school systems K-12 and their communities with the core
content, competencies and habits of mind that characterize education for a sustainable future. We do
this by inspiring teachers and engaging students through meaningful content and student-centered
instruction that inspires young people to think about the world, their relationships to it, and their ability
to influence it in an entirely new way.
The Cloud Institute is proud to demonstrate new curriculum material developed especially for the
National Sustainable Design Expo that uses classroom material, an on-site activity and the Expo
exhibits to learn the principles behind life cycle analysis and how to evaluate the sustainability of a
product or process.

P3 in Action
EPA and its partners started the P3 program - People,
Prosperity, and the Planet - in 2004 to respond to
the needs of the developed and developing world in
moving toward sustainability. This national student
design competition enables college students to
research, develop, and design scientific and technical
solutions to sustainability challenges.
In keeping with the goals of the EPA's P3 program,
the National Sustainable Design Expo featuring EPA's
P3 Award is applying the following environmentally
sustainable practices:
Using nondisposable rental equipment
Generating electricity from a renewable resource
(biodiesel fuel)
Using lanyards made from recycled materials
Collecting plastic name tag holders for reuse
Providing recycling receptacles for paper, aluminum,
and plastic
Providing resource protection for the National Mall
Using 100% post-consumer recycled paper for
event literature
Printing materials using vegetable-based inks
Printing double-sided event literature
Supporting green companies through
environmentally-preferrable purchasing
Using electronic communications whenever
possible to promote the event and communicate
with stakeholders
Designing banners and signage for reuse
Presenting P3 Awards made from recycled glass
Presenting P3 Award certificates in frames made
from recycled materials
Locating the event in an area accessible by public
transportation
Turning off lights and equipment when not in use
Ways you can join us
next year:
Exhibitor
By demonstrating or exhibiting your
