Impact
Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental toxins due to their size, their developing physiology, and their behavioral patterns (such as lying on the floor, hand-to-mouth behavior etc.). Using bio-based cleansers is one step towards ensuring that children are not ingesting toxins from cleaners. All NYC public schools are switching, and this affects nearly 1 million children.
Likewise, in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education’s Office of SchoolFood, all schools use paper trays EVERY Tuesday. This reduces Styrofoam tray use by 600,000 trays per week!
