Healthy Materials

Materials, paints, bedding and furnishings are available that support personal health, better indoor air quality and resource sustainability. 

New options are expanding and improving for a whole range of needs, from paint, counter tops, tile and flooring, to soft furnishings, insulation and mattresses!

A wide range of styles, designs and colors are now incorporated into the selection of "greener" materials.  Choices  that support recyclables, resource conservation, responsible labor,  natural fibers and components and more---without sacrificing good design and personal style.

Even "greening" a few key materials choices can make a significant positive contribution to the ideals you want to support.  The feeling of overwhelm can keep us from being able to act on even our best intentions.  Its okay to start small, just start somewhere!

Taking into account something that feels important to you---organics, renewable energy, local economy, recycling, physical health---and making a choice that reflects and supports what you value will feel good.  It will also make a contribution to the sense of your Home in community with  others, and in care of our environment.

I would be happy to talk with you about greening your home in both daily ways and large project choices.
