Beyond Pesticides' Back to School Checklist
Washington, DC--(ENEWSPF)--August 23, 2011. It’s that time of the year again for kids to return to the classroom. For others it’s their first time meeting new friends, new teachers in a new school. However, children may face unexpected dangers from antibacterial chemicals and other pesticides used in and around schools. The body of evidence in scientific literature shows that pesticide exposure can adversely affect a child’s neurological, respiratory, immune, and endocrine systems, even at low levels.In preparation for the new school year, Beyond Pesticides has put together this easy back to school checklist to help safeguard your kids from the dangers that may be lurking at school. Check off the items on this list to start the new school year right and ensure that you are sending your kids back to school to a healthier and safer environment.
1. Get Triclosan Out Of Your School and School Supplies.
Studies have increasingly linked triclosan (and its chemical cousin triclocarban), to a range of adverse health and environmental effects, from skin irritation, endocrine disruption and antibiotic resistance, to dioxin contamination and destruction of fragile aquatic ecosystems.
Avoid products that are labeled Microban or “with antibacterial protection” as they may contain triclosan, nanoparticles or other dangerous antibacterial agents. Some brands to look out for include: Avery (binders, paper), C-Line (sheet protectors, project folders), Sharp (calculators), Ticonderoga (pencils, permanent markers, highlighters). Others school items that may contain antibacterial agents include soaps, lunch kits, backpacks, erasers, socks, clothing, plastic containers. Read the label to avoid these products. See a list of common triclosan-containing products.
Ask your school to order regular soap from its usual janitorial product supplier and that all cleansers and sanitizers used by the school be triclosan-free. Remember, to sanitize hands and school items simple soap and water works best! Download the back-to-school Triclosan & Germs factsheet .

Based “Diva of Sleep” and President of WÜL Bedding Company Offers Tips on the Importance of Sleep! Tracy Jean-Chronberg, owner of WÜL, a luxury bedding company in the Greater Boston area and the creator of the WUL Sleep System, is no stranger to the world of sleep and its importance. An ambassador of such concepts as “Sleep is Beauty” and “Sleep is Strength” Jean-Chronberg offers up (5) Tips to get “your head right” – on the pillow.
“An organized and healthy life begins with a daily regimen of diet, exercise and most importantly sleep! I think by addressing the 5 senses of sleep insomniacs and “casual sleepers” will see a major change in their nightly patterns,” said Jean-Chronberg.
Surround Yourself with the (5) Senses of Sleep…
Sight: Surround yourself with calming or light colors; get rid of reds and oranges in your bedroom, which tend to cause anxiety or tension. Room darkening curtains and sleep masks are also important to managing light invasion.
Sound: Turn off the tube and enjoy the silence. If you need to have sounds to sleep try listening to calming classical or ambient music or use a sound machine such as the Tranquil Moments® Sleep Sound Therapy System from Brookstone® which is one of my favorites.
Touch: Get rid of that raggedy comforter and pillow and find something that suits you. My company provides the WÜL Sleep System that includes: a comforter, pillow and Wunderlay (Bed Topper) which helps you to sleep soundly and wake more refreshed naturally being non-allergenic and absorbing it dissipates moisture which provides an even sleeping temperature year round.
Smell: Listen, if your room stinks – fix it…. if he stinks, get rid of him. Beyond this advice…try using calming smells like lavender. Bath and Bodyworks® makes a great sleep spray. Check it out here!
