"Give your home a good, green scrubbing, and you, your cats and your home will be sparkling, happy and healthy."
—Lisa Hanks, PETCHA

Green has always been a part of Jill Potvin Schoff's life, as she was born and raised in the Green Mountains of northern Vermont. The mountains instilled in her a love of clean air, clean water, and all living things. She learned almost forgotten rural arts like canning, pickling, and maple sugaring at her mother's and grandmother's knees. When she became a wife and mother, it was natural that she would be drawn to a simpler way of life that put less burden on the planet and fewer toxins in the way of her family. The author of two books, she keeps herself busy raising her son, writing and designing books, growing organic vegetables, and running her own Internet company.
