“Mary Ann and her team helped our school develop a school-wide sustainability plan. Mary Ann was remarkably adaptable to our school specific needs and helped with unique action items. The sustainability committee surpassed my expectations for where we would be by the end of the school year, and Mary Ann's combination of dedication, insights, research, preparation, follow through, and compassion were a key reason for why our committee did as well as it did. Mary Ann's great work was consistent through the entire process, from our first conversation to the last.” - Seth O’Bryan, Director of Social & Environment Sustainability & Upper School Mathematics

Her insight and help were invaluable." - Ben Vidal, Senior Consultant & Sustainability Committee Chair

PAISBOA

"I am the Associate Director of PAISBOA, a regional association of 180 Independent Schools and Colleges in the Philadelphia area. About three years ago, we created a Sustainability Affinity Group for our members out of our belief in the topic’s importance to our schools, their students and the earth. Mary Ann and Anne have provided great guidance and resource material to this newly created Affinity Group. They’ve contributed their time, technical knowledge, experience and organizational skills in helping to build our program. From my experience, they have always done more than I asked for and with excellence. I think that such standards are in their DNA. It has been gratifying for me to have the opportunity to work with them in building something of value." - Al Greenough, Associate Director, Philadelphia Area Independent School Business Officers Association (PAISBOA)

Norwood Fontbonne Academy

"Boyer Sudduth (MaryAnn and Anne) Environmental Consultants are wonderful! They guided us through all phases of a Collaborative Waste Initiative in partnership with the Morris Arboretum and Chestnut Hill College. With their deep knowledge of green schools and experience in leading institutional change, Mary Ann and Anne empowered our Treasuring the Earth Team to imagine and create this new initiative in our school. The team worked to identify goals, conduct a pre- and post-waste audit, develop an action plan, monitor and evaluate results, and deepen our curricular connections to consumption and waste. These efforts lead to a reduction of waste by 37% and a Bronze Award from Eco-Schools USA. In addition, Mary Ann and Anne helped us secure three grant awards with which we purchased a new composter and recycling bins. They enabled us to publicize our story and inspired our Treasuring the Earth Team to continue this work in the future." - Sister Mary Helen Beirne, Head of School, Norwood Fontbonne Academy

School District of Philadelphia

"I asked Boyer Sudduth Environmental Consultants to help plan a training session for district teachers on waste and consumption as part of our GreenFutures professional development series.  Anne and Mary Ann collaborated with a team including Eco-Schools USA and Keep Philadelphia Beautiful over several months to bring the session to life. It was their practical knowledge based on hands-on experience that made their perspective so valuable for me. At the session, Mary Ann shared tips on conducting a waste audit and an exercise teachers could use with their school's green teams that participants found particularly worthwhile. We received tons of positive feedback in the the post workshop evaluations.  We are grateful for their on-going engagement with the district's sustainability efforts." - Megan Garner, Sustainability Manager, School District of Philadelphia

"Boyer Sudduth Environmental Consultants is a valuable asset for any school hoping to increase its sustainability practices. They break down large complex tasks into manageable pieces and smaller goals that are reasonable and attainable. They help create opportunities for both teachers and students to be actively engaged in the process of going green. At Mt. Pleasant Elementary School this year, they helped us organize and complete both an energy and waste audit. They provided curriculum connections for students of all ages to access these pathways in the Eco­-Schools Program run by the World Wildlife Federation. We would never have been able to complete this work without their guidance and support! They are also incredibly professional, responsive and well ­organized. Quite simply, they are a great pleasure to work with. I heartily recommend their services for any educational institution on a path to a greener school." - Wendy Turner, Mt. Pleasant Elementary, a Green Ribbon School
