Everyone close to Chanté Evans, 30, knows
being “green†is a priority for her. Each year on Earth Day, she teaches her fourth-grade students at McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, Georgia, about protecting the environment. Recycling in the home is second nature to her 10-year-old son, Ryan, whose birthday coincides with Earth Day. She even conspicuously places large, pink-wrapped boxes marked separately for plastics, glass, and aluminum around the room at her monthly Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. meetings. At just about every opportunity, Evans seeks services, products, companies, and methods that focus on the environment.
