School
Lunches Made Healthy, Safe and Easy
Just in time for the back-to-school rush, we are pleased to introduce the Eco-Healthy Lunch Box Kit. This kit is designed to help kids eat healthy, local and organic foods while reducing their exposure to toxins from products we all use every day. The kit includes practical tools for a youngster's healthy lunch as well as educational materials, recipes and guidelines for the grown-ups.
Download our handy Safer Plastics and Green Cleaning Wallet Guides
- Our safe plastics wallet cards to help families understand the differences between all the plastics out there, which ones are safe - and which ones are less so.
- Save money and reduce toxins in your home with our green cleaning guide. This simple, easy to use guide helps you make your own cleaning products from everyday items. Big chemical companies are spending millions on research and are bringing these same green cleaning products to market (which is good news). But why wait? Get green cleaning today!
- Another great OEC tool is our comprehensive Tiny FootprintsTM Baby Shower Kit!
