Did you know 25% of chemicals in the cleaning products used in schools are toxic and contribute to poor indoor air quality, smog, cancer, asthma, and other disease? There is a better way to clean - use green cleaning products.

The Cleaning for Healthy Schools Toolkitis a free "do-it-yourself" tool on how to introduce the use of green cleaning products. Learn by watching and listening to the archived presentations. Then teach others: 1) invite a small group to get together at your school or other meeting place for an hour or so to listen to two or more modules together; or, 2) create your own presentation for your school or your specific audience. To access the customizable files, enter the registration page (below) and download the files you want to download for future use. Have fun! Don't forget to tell us about your success!
