Groups Say Walt Disney Can Do More Green Cleaning
Environmental Groups, including The Center for Health, Environment and Justice and the Florida Alliance for Healthy Indoor Environments, has begun a campaign to persuade The Walt Disney Co. to use only environmentally safe cleaning products at its Walt Disney World theme parks, restaurants and hotels near Orlando, Florida Today reports.
Walt Disney World spokeswoman Jacquee Polak said she believes all the cleaning products and methods Disney uses are safe, and that the company is in compliance with all local, state and national environmental regulations, noting that some of the products it now uses are “certified green.”
“We want Disney to go 100 percent green,” Center for Health, Environment and Justice spokeswoman Stacey Gonzalez said. “They’re using green products at Animal Kingdom to protect the animals. They should also protect the children. They already have three hotels where they use green products. They need to expand it to their other theme parks.”

Would like to comment on disney’s green cleaning products,witch are manufactured by ecolab.
There are some coments on the web that ecolab is not what it seems to be,i myself do not know the details,but at my last visit to EPCOT i did see a lot of improvement is needed in the cleaning department,i do not understand that a giant like disney has not heard of (simix surface solutions) that has a self cleaning system in place that once aplied it cleans it self for the next seven years, on a veriety of surfaces,even their cleaning solution will kill all germs and bacteria on contact,and thier coatings will cotiniue to do this for years as the coating mantains a high ph level that will keep on sanitising any suface for a long time.
No germs and bacteria can survive on a suface of a ph higher than 9.3.
For example their ac coating will save any one 15 to 20 % on their utility bill.
Further teir application will save millions of gallons of water and eliminate the use of chemicals all together.
This is the best tio2 nanotechnology i have found and used.
Best regards
