Deborah Moore at Green Schools Initiative answers the, "This is not an Endorsement," post:
"Actually, green cleaning *does* have to do with climate change! Certified green cleaners are required to be concentrated.

And I think we would all want to avoid exposures to toxic chemicals that can cause asthma or cancer if there are readily available safer alternatives!"
