ENVISION VERSION 2.0
Sustainable InfrastructureRating System
Mel Meng, March 2014
A very biased and short introduction
![Page 2: Envision version 2.0](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051210/549c1110ac7959a62a8b461d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Do whatever we can to make sure our children live a better life than us.
Sustainability is Simple

Sustainability is a moral thing!
But how do you know
you did “whatever you can?”

Envision 2.0 is a simple checklist of 60 questions
that once asked, you’ll know immediately what is
the right thing to do next.

60 questions is a lot more than whatever I can think of, and that is the first step toward
“whatever I can do”

Envision 2.0 encourages you to think about the
morally right thing to do without making
assumptions of projects and technologies.
Simple & Complete

Example
Proposed Tunnel in a mostly rural area
Sewer extension will encourage development and urban sprawl, is that the right thing to do for this rural community?
