| State Wants Schools To Go "Green," But Who Is Footing The Bill? |
I'm wondering what people are thinking about the State wanting to go "Green Solution". As they are getting ready to do at Lincoln Tomb in Springfield with Geothermal heat and cooling. The State is telling all schools that they must adopt and create a policy for their cleaning supplies. The State has created a Database of Green Solution Vendors that school may use, if they choose to use these vendors they have nothing to do. But if they choose not to use these vendors then they have to create a policy showing all materials used and that they are Green Solution (a little green seal). I have found out that to get into this Database you have to pay a fee and another fee to maintain your status. Now who do you think will be picking up the tab for the fees? These Companies are not just going to eat this cost, they will pass it on to the customer (the Schools) which taxpayers are supporting with our real estate taxes. I have read the latest draft of this proposed Green Solution and some of it is quite funny, you can tell that the people writing this haven't worked in a school cleaning it.
