This review essay discusses the importance of sustainabilityminded pedagogies in the writing classroom through an examination of Fountainhead Press’s new V (Voices) composition reader series [[http://www.fountainheadpress.com/vseries/](http://www.fountainheadpress.com/vseries/)]. The essay discusses ways to integrate the V series themed readers and their assignments into a sustainability-minded writing classroom, and it concludes by suggesting important links between sustainability pedagogy and writing transfer.  \nA recent study conducted by GUNI (Global University Network for Innovation) has shown that while institutions of higher education around the globe are greening their facilities and operations, sustainability literacy is not rising among our graduates (Granados, Tilbury, and Wright). As James J. Farrell explains in the prelude to The Nature of College (2010),“students learn a lot in college, but most students aren’t learning what they need to create a restorative society…. A college that wants to remain relevant to its students will teach them how to be leaders in the ecological transition of the twenty-first century”(xii-xiii) . Our curricula are not preparing our students adequately to navigate the complex relationships among environment, society, economy, and technology that they face (and will face) in their roles as citizens and experts.  \nInstitutions of higher education are in the business of educating students who will take on this century’s challenges; writing classes are at the heart of that education when our students are honing their critical thinking, reading, and writing skills in our classrooms. According to the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), the five main societal challenges ofthe twenty-first century are food security, food safety, nutrition and health, bioenergy, and climate change (Beachy) . Each of these challenges encompasses a complex system of relationships among the environment, the economy, society, and technology. How do we begin to educate our students about the complexities of climate change? How do we equip them to navigate the challenges and feasibilities of bioenergy? How do we prepare them to participate in policy formation and personal decision making and to be innovators who contribute to solving some of these problems? I was recently reminded of something David Orr has pointed out: these problems—of food security, food safety, nutrition and health, bioenergy, and climate change—were not created by the impoverished and the illiterate. They were created by individuals with higher education degrees who became movers and shakers in their global and local communities (Orr 7) . So what are we teaching our students?  \nPublic discourse today—and perhaps rightly so—is full of crisis rhetoric: the economic crisis, the environmental crisis, the energy crisis, not to mention concerns with healthcare and health issues, terrorism and violence, and national security. When we teach our students about writing, we are also, ideally, preparing them with the skills and knowledge to communicate, innovate, and, hopefully, move us beyond crisis.
