Most of us have peroxide in our homes, right? We typically reach for it when we get cuts or scrapes, but did you know it does so much more? Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is an excellent disinfectant, often used in hospital settings to sanitize surfaces and bedding. It can be used all around your home from kitchen to bathroom, laundry room to your dog’s bed! It can even help your houseplants!

Lake Erie supplies the water we drink. No matter where you live, your life depends on water. Year after year, trash enters our waterways, choking economies, harming wildlife and impacting the health of humans and communities.

Fortunately, this is one environmental issue we can all address.

Clean water has so many benefits, from healthy wildlife to strong economies.

Now in its 10th year, the 2018 Sustainable Cleveland Summit will take place September 20-21 at Cleveland Public Auditorium.

By bringing together more than 500 sustainability leaders, the Summit provides an opportunity for all of us to work across sectors to strengthen initiatives, foster collaboration, and learn about recent innovations.
