"Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology"

"Every child deserves a learning environment that’s safe, healthy, free of harmful toxins and optimal for learning! That's why I'm entering the Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by @Pureology. You should enter to make learning better for your children too: http://bit.ly/VzWAQh. Thanks for the tip @Influenster!" 

Every child deserves a learning environment that’s safe, healthy, free of harmful toxins and optimal for learning. Unfortunately, many schools across the country are subjecting children to unhealthy classrooms with poor lighting and inefficient energy usage, which costs most schools more money than they spend on books and computers.  When a school goes green, children benefit – as well as the environment!

 Green schools lead to:

• Improved student performance as much as 25%
• More funds for student resources when water and energy costs are reduced by as much as 40%. These funds are channeled back into resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers and other essentials.
• Reduced carbon footprint

Caprese Pizza Toast

This is an open-faced sandwich version of the famous Italian Caprese salad with sliced tomatoes, bocconcini and fresh basil.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• pinches of salt and pepper
• 1 thick focaccia loaf
• 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
• 6 large balls bocconcini
• 5 plum tomatoes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Place basil, garlic, oil, salt and pepper in a blender. Whirl to a saucy consistency. Add more oil to make it more saucy, if needed. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 2 days. Cut bread in half horizontally, then cut each half into quarters. Place cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread half of basil mixture over bread, then evenly sprinkle with mozzarella. Thickly slice bocconcini and tomatoes into rounds, then arrange in overlapping slices on top of bread. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
2. Bake in centre of preheated oven until cheese starts to melt, 7 to 10 minutes, then turn broiler to high. Broil until cheese begins to turn golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining basil mixture. Cut each piece in half diagonally. Best served warm.
