	Veg Heads Sayre Middle School Anne Bates Allen, Art Teacher Veg Heads is dedicated to all that support sustainable living-growing produce or supporting our local farms in the beautiful Bluegrass region of Kentucky. We thought about our Farmer’s Market, Community Gardens and the many faces of all those that shop locally. Since our rain barrel will enable gardens to grow beautiful vegetables by providing water to the earth, we created garden personae that encourage all to “Eat your Veggies!”
	Genesis Dorothy Green Genesis 1:20-21. God saw “It was good.” All life is linked to creeks, streams, rivers and oceans, yet we hardly give it a thought. What is not good is how man’s trash and debris find its way into our bodies of water. What if we had a lid over our waters? What if we had a system to draw out pollution? What if we just didn’t pollute? As a 74 year old woman, I will probably not see pollution as my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will see it. What will the earth, the bodies of water, be in 20 years? In 30 years? My barrel reflects that question, “What if?”
	Leave No Trace Webelos Scout Pack 221 Leave No Trace Behind rain barrel is one of the awards a Webelos Scout can earn. It focuses on picking up trash others have left as well as leaving nature to its natural state when entering a campsite or woods.
	Be Clean and Green with Calvary Calvary Elementary School in Marion County Our Barrel was designed to represent a mission we started at our school. We are going completely "GREEN". We recycle everything we can and measure our garbage every week with the hope we will be GARBAGE free. So we wanted to show that we have to have UNITY in recycling in order to make it work. Our students came up with the slogan "Be Clean and Green with Calvary". We hope our Barrel inspires others to be CLEAN AND GREEN!
	Water Color Jill Morgan The beauty of our underwater life is full of color. Effects of pollution might someday make us lose this beauty. We are responsible for protecting and restoring our oceans. My piece shows us the brightness and enjoyment we have in our oceans. The top is plain to show what we would see if no life was sustained by pollution of our water. It is a shared responsibility to stop the effects of pollution.

	Untitled Staci Tate Most of my paintings are inspired by my personal experiences and most recently have been about changes through life. I painted this barrel while taking care of my 19 month old son and being seven months pregnant and could not get babies off my mind! I like the thought of a rain barrel bringing life to the earth. Water is the essence of life and we take it for granted. I would like for the viewer to be able to bring their own ideas and be able to interpret these swimming babies however they may choose.
	Untitled Teresa Goss My concept for the rain barrel is to showcase the water itself moving from scarcity to abundance at various vantage points. Through my imagery I want to illustrate the diverse attitudes with which different cultures regard, revere, and implement water usage within their communities. By depicting specific cultural and regional imagery (i.e. Bedouin herders of the Sinai, Hindu worshippers of the Ganges, tourist at Niagara), I hope to convey the singularity of water as it relates to our planet and its many inhabitants.
