 * Mrs. Dizer || Recycle all cans, paper, and plastic I use. Carry my own cup and not use disposable dishes. ||
 * Mrs. Bryson || Recycle at home and at school. Use my Tervis Tumbler instead of disposable cups when possible. ||
 * Ms. Steele || Recycle at home and at school. Carry my own reusable cups. Garden and can my own foods. Use the local farmers market. ||
 * Mr Haynes || Grow vegetables, grow meat (beef, goat), grow eggs, milk goats, kitchen trash compost, recycle at home, purchase food from local farmers (meat, milk products, fruits and vegetables), use water bottles in vehicles, compost leaves, grass trimmings, and manure to build soil for garden beds, feed brush/tree trimmings to goats, use non-disposable dishes at school and home ||
 * Mrs. Durham || Recycle all containers (cans, bottles, glass, etc.) and paper at home. Use a water filter at home instead of purchasing bottled water if at all possible. Use reusable bags at the grocery store and minimize the use of pre-packaged items. If I do get plastic grocery bags, I reuse them for litter box cleaning or for storage. Consolidate car trips as much as possible, even if that means waiting on each other. We have a programmable thermostat which we set to be higher in the summer and lower in the winter during the times we are not home. ||
 * Ms. Exum || I recycle cans, bottles, glass, paper at home and school. I don't purchase bottled water and I take reuseable bags with me when I shop, not just at the grocery store, but other places as well. ||
 * Ms. Gordon || I recycle both at home and at school and resist purchasing grocery store items that are packaged in unrecyclable materials. I have a garden where I grow my own vegetables and can them for use during the winter. What I can't grow at home I attempt to purchase at the local farmer's market or my favorite farmer, Mr. Haynes. All leaves, grass clippings and kitchen waste is composted to amend my garden soil. ||
 * Mrs. Cook || We grow a few vegetables each season and attempt to buy all other produce at local markets. We raise our own chickens for eggs, and compost our food scraps either for the garden or for chickens. We do not eat meat. We recycle and try not to buy too many packaged items. We have replaced several old appliances with energy effficient ones, and use a clothesline to dry laundry when we can. ||
 * Mrs. Northcutt || We recycle glass, plastic, mixed paper, aluminum cans, and steel cans at home. We also don't use paper towels or paper napkins but use cloth napkins and dishcloths instead. We have canvas grocery bags, which we use for so many purposes. We have a programmable thermostat, which not only shuts off the heat or AC during the day but at night when we are asleep and buried under the covers. My son uses a lunch box instead of taking paper lunch bags and we try not to use baggies. If we do, we try to re-use them over and over. We also love that our 5 year old thinks these practices are the norm! He gets mad at his grandfather if he throws a can in our garbage :) ||
