Green Cleaning Discussion Forums
Getting people talking about Green Cleaning is an important part of the Green Cleaning Networkıs mission. We developed our Discussion Forums as an information resource and online meeting place where end-users can share successful cross-sector tools, strategies and solutions. For example, lessons learned from hospitals on protecting vulnerable populations can be transferred to schools with vulnerable children and office buildings with vulnerable occupants (i.e. pregnant, motherıs nursing infants, those with compromised immune systems, asthmatics, etc.). And tools developed by one group such as LEED-EB or The Quick & Easy Guide to Green Cleaning in Schools can be shared with others. In the process, we hope to facilitate cross-sector learning, assist with problem-solving and promote the adoption of Green Cleaning in schools and universities, health care facilities, government and commercial office buildings, hospitality and lodging facilities, and many other institutional settings.
