 Healthy Home and Office: Living Toxic Free: Reducing toxins and unwanted chemicals in our day-to-day lives has been getting a lot more attention recently. The core of the organic movement is based on minimizing pesticide use and exposure, especially as more research confirms the logical connection between disease and chemicals designed to kill things. However, reducing chemical exposure goes beyond eating organically or using organic personal care products. Entire homes and offices are potential toxic bubbles surrounding you with unsafe chemicals 24/7. This fall I began teaching a course titled Healthy Home and Office: Living Toxic Free as an 8-week adult education class teaching students how to create healthier and safer home and office environments.


 Bona Fide Wins Webby Awards Honoree: With nearly 70 categories, Website entries make up the majority of Webby Awards Winners, Nominees and Honorees. Some are beautiful to look at and interact with. Others are a testament to usability and functionality. And a handful excel across the board. To be selected among the best is an incredible achievement worthy of praise -- and perhaps a little bragging. As a result of the superior quantity and quality of sites entered, the 15th Annual Webby Awards recognized sites and teams that demonstrated a standard of excellence. Of the over 8000 entries submitted to the 15th Annual Webby Awards, fewer than 15% were distinguished as an Official Honoree. This honor signifies an outstanding caliber of work. Congratulations to all of our Official Honoree selections!
