Karen McIntyre from Nashville's Westmead Elementary is much more than a librarian.  She's helped start a compost program, a school garden, recycling drives and a way for students to donate uneaten food from the lunchroom.  She shares her successes and the lessons learned along the way to making her school an example for the entire Nashville school system.  Karen is proof that one persons dedication can affect systemic change.  Find out how you can support what she's doing and/or get inspired to help your local school become more environmentally friendly.
