Millions of Americans interact with a Green Seal label every day, from the cleaning procedures used in their office buildings\u00a0to the low-VOC paint used on their bedroom walls. We have certified thousands of products, services, and spaces used by families, companies, government agencies, and institutions around the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we\u2019re setting our sights on our nation\u2019s schools: Green Seal is partnering with pioneer advocacy organization&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/healthyschoolscampaign.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Healthy Schools Campaign<\/a>&nbsp;(HSC) to create the&nbsp;Healthy Green Schools &amp; Colleges&nbsp;Program. Together, we envision a world in which everyone has equitable access to schools that improve the health of people and the planet. Every day in the U.S. more than 76 million people from all walks of life spend time in a school or university as students, staff, and faculty. This partnership brings great opportunity to improve how schools serve our communities and empower them as change agents for a more sustainable society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthy Green Schools &amp; Colleges will be a simple, effective, verifiable program to help schools with the why, what, and how of designing and implementing healthy green facilities management practices. Building on HSC\u2019s popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/greencleanschools.org\/resources\/steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Steps to Green Cleaning in Schools<\/a>&nbsp;and Green Seal\u2019s industry-leading cleaning services standard (<a href=\"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/staging\/green-seal-standards\/gs-42\">GS-42<\/a>), the program will expand to address a range of issues including indoor air quality monitoring, integrated pest management, and procurement. And most important of all, we will make sure facilities teams and green school champions have the knowledge, resources, tools, and support they need to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we begin this journey,&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:dglaser@greenseal.org?subject=Healthy%20Green%20Schools%20&amp;%20Colleges%20-%20%20How%20to%20Connect\">we\u2019d love to hear from you<\/a>. What green practices have you implemented in your school? Are you interested but don\u2019t know where to start? Healthy Green Schools &amp; Colleges is here. We\u2019re looking to connect with K-12 and higher-ed practitioners of all experience levels. It takes a village to improve the health of our kids, neighbors, and planet. There\u2019s a lot of work to do, and we\u2019re excited to get started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past 30 years, Green Seal\u00ae has served as the nation\u2019s most trusted ecolabel for products and services.
