    very nice lens. Alot of good advise on just how simple it is to be green. Every little bit helps in my opinon! My lens is focused on non-toxic cleaning supplies. People are not aware just how hazardous common cleaning supplies are to thier health and the in environment. Hope you can visit a>

    Great ideas. My granddaughter in 2nd grade is using the family computer instead of paper for spelling vocabulary drills. Dad or Mom dictate the word and use it in a sentence, and Bella types it up on screen. She gets practice with the spelling and saves paper. 5*s

    And don't forget the perfect snack for kids!! Organic roasted soy nuts!
    One ounce contains:
    More potassium than a banana
    More protein than milk
    More iron than raisins
    More fiber than brown rice

    Great lens keep up the good work!

    Very nice lens !
    If ALL of us were more careful, our planet would not be in so much trouble.

    We shop the thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales and of pass clothes and other items between several families to squeeze out ALL of the usefulness from them. Even then, often times these items are rused again as sewing fabric/rags/stuffing for draft stoppers... .

    I am an Organic gardener too and believe the less harmful chemicals we all can use - the better we will ALL be.

    Organically Yours,

    The waste in schools is unimaginable. Children could be encouraged to use the other side of the paper or to cut off unused sections to be used again. In my classroom I have a scrap box and children use the paper in that box first before taking new paper.

    You have done a wonderful job encouraging parents to look for green alternatives. I guess I would go one step further and encourage looking for items in second hand stores or yard sales. For example I use a wooden ruler my father had in grade school. It has a metal edge that has held up for over 60 years.

    Great Lens! 5 stars and Favored.

    Welcome to Unit Studies: Fun,Active, and Creative Learning where your lens is now featured.
