| 'HEALTHY CLEAN BUILDINGS’ is dedicated to the replacing of existing, conventional "TOXIC" and "HAZARDOUS" cleaning chemicals in offices, schools, homes, and public buildings; and to advise parents accordingly about our widely recognized and accredited 'KID-PROOF' "HEALTHY & SAFE" Daily Cleaning Program. This revolutionary cleaning system serves as an effective 'environmentally preferable' alternative to existing "DANGEROUS" cleaning chemicals. Additionally, this program addresses controversial indoor environmental issues such as "Sick Building Syndrome"; "I.A.Q." (Indoor Air Quality); "Multiple Chemical Sensitivities" (MCS); allergic triggers; Respiratory Ailments, such as Asthma; Dust Mite issues; Mold & Mildew conditions; and other similar indoor environmental concerns. http://www.cleaningpro.com/

| Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystem (GCTE) is a Core Project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP).GCTE has two objectives: To predict the effects of changes in climate, atmospheric composition, and land use on terrestrial ecosystems, including (i) agriculture, forestry, soils; and (ii) biodiversity.
To determine how these effects lead to feedbacks to the atmosphere and the physical climate system. http://gcte.org/

| The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was founded in 1945 with a mandate to raise levels of nutrition and standards of living, to improve agricultural productivity, and to better the condition of rural populations. Today, FAO is one of the largest specialized agencies in the United Nations system and the lead agency for agriculture, forestry, fisheries and rural development. An intergovernmental organization, FAO has 183 member countries plus one member organization, the European Community. http://www.fao.org/

| The Noise Pollution Clearinghouse is a national non-profit organization with extensive online noise related resources. The mission of the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse is to create more civil cities and more natural rural and wilderness areas by reducing noise pollution at the source. http://www.nonoise.org/
|
||
|
||
| The European Commission has presented a proposal for a Directive on the Assessment and Management of Environmental Noise with the aim of providing a basis for a coherent, integrated EU policy on environmental noise. The proposal introduces measures to classify and understand the problems caused by noise, as a necessary step to preparing future concrete meásures to reduce noise pollution. The Commission is launching the idea of making EU-wide 'noise maps' based on common methods and indicators. These maps should be made available to the public. They should form the basis for development of action plans and strategies at local, national and EU levels to combat noise pollution. http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/docum/00468_en.htm

| One way of using economics is to ensure that the costs and the benefits of environmental measures are well balanced. Although it is difficult to estimate costs and benefits, there is an increasing demand that this is done before new environmental policy is decided on a European level. The economic unit of Environment DG supports the technical units (dealing e.g. with air pollution, water pollution, waste, climate change etc.) in finding such information. http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/enveco/
