A Stray Dog in Honduras
"A stray dog in Honduras. I took this photo during a medical brigade trip to Honduras. The dog is standing infront of a line of people waiting for medical attention. Our team was able to provide car to over 1,000 local individuals. The members of these less fortunate communities work hard to live a sustainable lifestyle without the items we take for granted on a daily basis. I care about this subject because the trip was eye opening experience for me."

Modernity Today
"This photo, taken in Berlin Germany, combines two aspects of modernity today. As depicted, this is a piece contrasting the natural and the industrial aspects of this city. This was a unique site to see, as this mound used to be a garbage field, but was turned into one of Berlins most notable parks." Taken by Lydianna Trudel.

Wildland Firefighting
"The photograph shows my crew on the Lost Horse Creek Fire outside of Fairbanks, AK. Wildland Firefighting was an incredibly unique way for me to connect with nature and challenge myself. Fighting this particular fire protected the rural communities residing in the area which tremendously touched when I interacted with them firsthand. They showered us with food and gifts. This was practicing sustainability values in my own way." Taken by Kelsey Wolf. Submitted to the Sustainability Photo Contest. -

Collective Liberation
"An activist protesting the violence in Gaza holds a sign calling for collective liberation for all . What speaks sustainability about this to me is how something is being reused , for a greater cause , in the cardboard , which instead of being thrown away is being used to uplift . The Palestinian cause is one of not only liberation of a peoples but liberation of the land. Palestinian culture is rooted in sustainabile agriculture practices , and sustainability within familia systems ." Taken by Paul Hill. Submitted to the RESTORExchange Sustainability Photo Contest. -
Lake Yojoa

Family Farm
"This photo was taken as my father took us around what used to be the family farm. It was sold in 2016 as excessive banana farming dried up the rivers nearby and became unsustainable. As of now, livestock has begun to thrive again as the cessation of banana farming on the land has allowed for the land to return to what it was before." Taken by Cristian Vallecillo.

Mural Oasis
"This image depicts only a small portion of Primm Mall located just outside of Las Vegas. Due to economic challenges and other business-related struggles, almost all of the shops that originally occupied the building have closed, leaving only a handful of businesses open. As Primm Mall became more and more abandoned, the building owners chose to do something remarkably sustainable. Rather than closing the mall and tearing down the building, they turned the structure into an artistic experience. Primm Mall now stands as an impressive gallery of street-style murals visited by thousands every year. The unique Mural Oasis created within the mall is a wonderful representation of how the built environment can be sustainably repurposed." Taken by Kelsey Frantz.

Balance and Harmony
"I took this photo when traveling in Ireland, I was amazed at the natural beauty of the land. I believe this photo represents sustainability because nature has control; as far as the eye can see, the landscape looks almost untouched by human interaction. The glimpse of a lighthouse can be spotted in the distance and the structure from where I took the photo are the only human-made things. Sustainability is about not leeching off of nature or trying to control it, but finding balance and harmony with the natural world." Taken by Ava Sickler-Michaud.

Monarch Caterpillars
"Monarch caterpillars eating native milkweed at the UAB Solar House. These caterpillars were put on milkweed surrounding the Solar House to help the Monarch butterfly population. This photo is important becuase it shows that if we want to support our native species we need to plant native host plants. The UAB Solar House has native plants in abundance to show the public that if you plant natives then the native species will come!" Taken by Emily Colpack.
