(Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). For children, who spend an average of 30 hours per week inside school buildings, the potential hazards of poor indoor air quality are pervasive. No matter the season, you can still introduce your students to plant life by participating in the Adopt-a-Plant for Your Classroom campaign.
