I wish there was a Green Daycare around when my son was an infant. Perhaps we can encourage schools in general to be greener to protect the health of our children and futureI would love to see more business owners featured that sell eco-friendly or green products. BlackandintoGreenblogspotcom promotes environmental health news for blacks and would love to offer products of black owned businesses on its site Keep up the great work
