Community Options begins Greening the Cleaning Program

Community Options, Inc. Starts "Greening the Cleaning®" Program
Hackensack, N.J., August 26, 2008 –. Community Options, Inc. (Princeton,
N.J.) has taken a huge step toward a cleaner environment with the adoption of
the award-winning Greening the Cleaning® program from The Deirdre Imus
Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology®. Community Options is a
national nonprofit organization that develops housing and employment
supports for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Greening the Cleaning® means eliminating to the greatest extent possible, all
cleaning agents containing hazardous ingredients and replacing them with
naturally-derived ingredients with the least level of toxicity. One hundred
percent of all profits from the institutional products go to the Environmental
Center for supporting education and research to identify, control and ultimately
prevent exposures to environmental factors that may cause adult, and
especially, pediatric cancer, as well as other health problems with our children.
“Our Greening the Cleaning® program makes a difference not just in the
indoor environment, but in the way we think about the environment around us.
We applaud Community Options, Inc., for taking this important step to make a
greener, brighter future," said Deirdre Imus, founder and President of The
Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology®.

The Environmental Center is part of Hackensack University Medical Center, a 501
(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation in New Jersey, where the program originated.
Community Options, Inc., joins more than 300 businesses, schools, healthcare
facilities and government agencies that have adopted the program since its
inception in 2001.

“Community Options, Inc. is thrilled to be working with and utilizing the green
cleaning products from the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric
Oncology. All of our residential and employment programs will be utilizing these
products because we are completely invested in the health, well-being and
improved quality of life of the individuals we support,” says, Robert Stack,
President and CEO of Community Options, Inc.

Inspired by the award-winning institutional program, the Greening the
Cleaning® household line is available in stores nationwide, as well as from
ImusRanchFoods.com. One hundred percent of all profits go to the Imus Cattle
Ranch for Kids with Cancer, a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit.
Unlike most cleaning products sold today, Greening the Cleaning® products
list all ingredients right on the label. These products are made from natural or
naturally-derived ingredients, are readily biodegradable, and contain no
phosphates, and no known or suspected human carcinogens, mutagens or
teratogens.

Ms. Imus is also co-founder and co-director of The Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids
with Cancer, an authentic 4,000 acre working cattle ranch in northern New
Mexico, which provides the experience of the American cowboy to children
suffering from cancer and various blood diseases, as well as to children who
have lost a brother or sister to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Community Options, headquartered in Princeton, N.J., is dedicated to providing
support for individuals with developmental disabilities throughout the country.
