"My name is Sara Talbott and I volunteer in Maria Wertzler's room. She is a teacher at Southern middle school and she teaches Family and Consumer Sciences education (Home Ec). I saw this and knew I needed to nominate her because she does such a great job of teaching and educating her students on ways to be responsible consumers. She teaches them methods to dispose of items, the importance of recycling and also "upcycling". She shows them creative ways to reuse items or creat them into different items. SHe did this cool project where she had them create scarves out of old tshirts and they were so cute. I think Ms. wertzler truely does a great job in teaching the kids how to be "ecofriendly" and practices these methods herself. She recycles items that she can get her hands on. I truely think she is an amazing "go green" teacher. Please consider her for this fun contest and thank you for thinking of teachers."

"Dear Lex 18/Subway,
Have you ever thought about going green? In today's world, people talk about going green, but what does that really mean? You can do all sorts of little tasks that make overall differences. When I was in the sixth grade, I had an outstanding science teacher, Dr. Thompson. We did many activities to help us learn more about going green. Some things that we learned about were how to be environmentally green, how to become green leaders, and how to live green. All of these concepts are essential to being a green person."
