It seems like everything has gone green these days - including the traditional school fundraiser. Thanks to new "earth-friendly" fundraising companies such as Greenraising, schoolchildren are now raising money for school activities by selling environmentally-correct products - including recycled wrapping paper, environmentally-safe cleaning products and fair trade coffee - instead of cookies and candy. As the Wall Street Journal recently explained in a feature article, these new types of fundraising activities not only tap into the whole green movement - they are also a response to other factors, such as the obesity problem in America.
