Focusing on sustainability is quickly becoming important in all aspects of our lives and careers, even application development.  Efficient code and the use of shared resources are a couple of ways to write sustainable code.  Limiting database calls will lower processor and network usage, thus saving energy.  Sticking to the project life cycle and limiting project builds/uploads/testing/etc until it is needed will also save energy.   IBM is reportedly looking at “green aware programming” or basically a ‘heat map’ for your code, pretty cool.
