dership to direct us toward a sustainable energy solution that incorporates environmental and social impacts. The United States also can influence other countries, enabling a systematic change that promotes clean energy, conservation and efficiency, Attari said.

I wasnt expecting it. We put a lot of time and effort into the letter and it paid off, said Flath, a masters degree student majoring in civil and environmental engineering from Scotch Plains, N.J. Other Carnegie Mellon team members included Azevedo, a Ph.D. candidate in engineering and public policy from Lisbon, Portugal, and Samaras, a Ph.D. candidate in engineering and public policy and civil and environmental engineering from Annapolis, Md.

David A. Dzombak, the Walter J. Blenko Sr. Professor of Environmental Engineering and faculty director of the Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research, said the Carnegie Mellon student team has made some insightful observations about what the current crop of presidential hopefuls should be addressing when it comes to Americas environmental and energy policies.

This team of students from different departments, but engaged in interdisciplinary environmental research through the Green Design Institute, demonstrates the importance of bringing multiple perspectives to the complex nexus of environment, energy and policy, said Dzombak, the teams faculty liaison.

All teams had a strict limit of 900 words and were independently judged on their effectiveness in addressing the presidential candidates within the prescribed word limit, awareness of energy and sustainability issues, and creativity and originality of the letters call to action.
