Many students react to products that are used to clean their homes and their schools. Some of the harmful products in disinfectants and soaps include chlorine, formaldehyde and ammonia make children and adults sick. This can affect certain children who have skin conditions or asthma: Here are some things you can do to change your school:

1. Look for natural products that get the same cleaning results
2. Recycle paper at your school
3. Change to more efficient lights in every classroom
4. Recycle glass and plastic bottles
5. Lower your heat by 1 degree
6. Walk to a location when you can
