I have been trying to determine how to find green and effective cleaners at home and also to find a good site that I can promote on our City environmental website, which I am in the process of redesigning.

Unfortunately, I think the EPA site needs some work before it is really functional for the general public. Please include a search function so you can search on a particular product – glass cleaner, dishwashing soap, etc. and not end up with everything in one long list. Also allowing users to provide feedback on the efficacy of the product would go a long ways towards reassuring potential users that a product really does work. I have certainly purchased green cleaning products before that were not effective and this then taints the other green products that may work.

So a good start, and EPA is doing a lot of great work, but at this point I will look for other links for our city environmental website that are more consumer friendly.

Best wishes – John

I hope you have or will create a similar program for green insecticides and herbicides so we can begin the phase out of harmful polluting chemicals in pesticide solutions. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

You’re right, once we have children, we become much more aware of our surroundings and what we have to take into account to protect our children. Happy new year!

I suppose we should be simpler in our necessities and consumptions to reach the purpose of green world. But it is very difficult. My wife uses many cleaning chemicals in home. I don’t try to persuade her to use natural cleaning means even she is physician.

In histories, Decision Makers, Gentlemen, used powers to reach their obsessions. However, The Universes using powers to do global constellation. We need different approaches to moderate their natural behaviors by wisdom figures and thinkers, that certainly Females. On the other hands, Mrs. Sweda, give example to us how to make decisions to take care of their child. The future, we need many ladies more like her not only for her family but also to the people.
