Even though these products sometimes are slightly more expensive, the positive health and environmental effects for our children, education workers, and our community are well worth it. As more groups and governmental entities create a demand for these type products, their costs should become fully competitive with traditional (non-green) products. One thing I hope that the State of Maryland will do, through the State Board of Education and State Health Department is to provide training to custodial workers and others on the proper use of these products, differences between green and traditional products, and why it is important we switch to them.
