Bill Thompson, Director of Facilities for Lockport Township High School in Illinois, first considered starting a green cleaning program after his janitors became dizzy when using a traditional chemical floor stripper. Thompson started introducing green products gradually at Lockport Township High, and now almost all of the cleaning agents used at the school are environmentally friendly. The school has become a model for successful green cleaning program implementation and Thompson has worked to spread the word about green cleaning. Developing and implementing a green cleaning program does not have to be overwhelming or expensive. It is a process that can be accomplished in steps or phases, with positive results at each stage. This article offers five simple steps schools can use to develop and implement a green cleaning program: (1) Develop a green cleaning program; (2) Use green cleaning products; (3) Introduce green equipment and supplies; (4) Adopt green cleaning procedures; and (5) Share the responsibility.

During the 2010-11 academic year, the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization that supports Wikipedia, worked with professors at universities across the United States who were interested in using Wikipedia as a teaching tool in their classrooms through a pilot version of the Wikipedia Education Program. This article presents a case study of four professors' experiences: two professors at Georgetown University, one professor at Michigan State University, and one professor at the University of California at Berkeley. Each describe the ways they incorporated Wikipedia into their classroom and the learning points that emerged from the experiences. Together, they offer suggestions for other professors who are interested in participating in the Wikipedia Education Program. (Contains 1 table.)

Community organizing brings Latina/o families together to enhance repertoires of culturally relevant practices to promote health and curriculum. The Healthy Schools Campaign, a 4-year environmental justice partnership between public health researchers and Latina/o organizations in 2 neighborhoods of Chicago, was formed to confront the epidemics of asthma and obesity in children that result in premature death. The partnership supported diverse organizing and addressed health inequity through inquiry with parents who created knowledge, took action, and reflected on outcomes in schools and in the community. Community funds of knowledge were created and exchanged through the processes of "compromiso," "confianza," and "colaboracion."
