Ohio Update: Green Cleaning In Schools

I used to think bleach was a clean smell, but now I understand that clean is when you smell nothing at all. Buying green certified cleaning chemicals for my own home is one way I protect my family. My son now spends close to seven hours a day in his Kindergarten classroom. So I began …

Bipartisan Consensus: Wasting Energy Is Senseless

This was written by Isabelle Silverman for the Environmental Defense Fund: In his State of the Union address, President Obama announced the goal of cutting energy waste in buildings and homes in half over the next 20 years.
