Book excerpt: Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) students and alumni were challenged by a contest to submit poetry, creative prose, scholarly works, creative nonfiction, or images that speak to caring for our Planet in a sustainable fashion. Twenty six varied submissions representing many disciplines speak with one voice in concert with promoting strategies that ensure a quality of life. RIT College of Business professor and contest judge, Sandra Rothenberg, observes "It is interesting that people with such different backgrounds can see things the same!" This common goal can create an unprecedented collective effort to use our resources to benefit all.
