Green Focused Home Schooling Curriculum

Many parents are unhappy with the decline of educational systems in this country. Overcrowding, school violence, outdated text books and overly stressed teachers who show little caring have made many leave public education and start home schooling instead. It is the rights of parents to home school their child. However in most districts, they must file a letter of intent which outlines and discusses the prospective curriculum for the coming school year so the child will follow what is being taught in the public schools. While schools may briefly touch on "green" as a concept, the lessons are rarely in depth and may suggest that trying to live a green life takes too much effort. Teaching your own children about living an ecologically-friendly life during the course of teaching other lessons is not only smart, it may be vital. >More

Land Revitalization

Natural Pest Control

No one wants to live in a home infested with bugs or rodents, but most of us do not want to spend good money on toxic chemicals and harmful practices that may or may not work anyway.

To become a green exterminator, it is important to understand all of the techniques that are used, whether they are technically green or not. If you work for a national franchise for instance, you will have to employ their accepted practices and their materials, regardless of your own personal opinions or practices. You will need to have your exterminator's license and many companies give an additional certification after training is completed. >More
