==History==
Since its founding in 1989, by Rena Shulsky David, Green Seal has developed environmental standards for hundreds of categories of products and services.〔 Green Seal published a series of buying guides for purchasers in the 1990s (the Choose Green Reports) and at that time began providing technical assistance to Federal, State, and local governments and other institutions' environmental purchasing, operations, and facilities management.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.epa.gov/epp/pubs/cleaning.htm )〕 In the early 2000s, the certification program focused primarily on building maintenance. In 2006, the US Green Building Council LEED rating system included several Green Seal standards in their criteria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.usgbc.org/Docs/LEEDdocs/LEED_RS_v2-1.pdf )〕 Practice GreenHealth, the AASHE STARS program,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aashe.org/documents/stars/STARS_0.5.pdf )〕 and the Green Ribbon Schools Program of the U.S. Department of Education,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www2.ed.gov/programs/green-ribbon-schools/resources.html )〕 among others, reference Green Seal standards. According to a 2010 study by the Responsible Purchasing Network, the Green Seal was recognized by 95% of purchasers and used by 76%.
