When you hear the word pollution what image comes to mind? Perhaps it’s oil washing ashore the gulf coast, or power plants spewing black smoke, or smog hovering over congested freeways.

About our Classes
Rachel and Laurie were a perfect team! The informational meeting that they held was so worthwhile. Rachel’s knowledge of “environmentally healthy foods” was eye opening and Laurie’s knowledge of “the right ingredients” was a great balance. The group met for a little over an hour, but the amount of valuable information I brought home to my family was tremendous! –Karen E., Needham, MA
We recently had a parent workshop with Laurie Brownstein and Rachel White on how to choose green and healthy snacks. Rachel & Laurie were knowledgeable and engaging, and their ideas for implementing changes were realistic for families with young children. Parents were discussing the topic for days after the presentation. I would highly recommend this workshop for your school. We are looking forward to having them return for future sessions on encouraging healthy eating in our homes. –Heidi Baker, Preschool Director, Newton, MA
In addition to being a lot of fun, the classes offer extremely useful suggestions to help protect our environment and our children. I enjoyed learning wonderful tips about healthy and safe cooking practices for my family. Rachel has an impressive knowledge about many of the products we use every day and she is able to communicate it in an easy-to-understand and comfortable atmosphere! –Macy T., Newton, MA
I really enjoyed the Green Parenting discussion series with Rachel. She created a very open environment so that people with all different knowledge levels would feel comfortable. The class was fun and educational at the same time. Rachel did a great job of presenting all the facts about the products we use and the effects they have on our bodies and the environment without making us feel overwhelmed or helpless. She helped us come up with do-able options to help keep toxins away from our families and the environment. She also provided us with wonderful resources that can be consulted when product questions arise. I look forward to participating in continuing education with her.–Stefanie A., Wellesley, MA
About our Consulting Services
We hired Rachel to help us reduce waste and learn how to make a safer, greener home for our family. Rachel was great. Her advice was clear, helpful, and exactly what we needed and more! We thought we were doing a decent job, but Rachel took us to the next level. She advised us on composting, shopping safely for food and beauty products, and packing waste-free school lunches. We are living greener & healthier thanks to Rachel. –Evan & Terri H., West Roxbury, MA
