Are you looking to give a “green” gift this season? The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Green Living is the perfect way to educate your family and friends in living healthier, sustainable lives while lessening our impact on the planet. Raising environmentally-aware children, learning energy and water saving tips, environmentally-friendly home and lawn care products, and inspiring stories of companies that have gone green are a few topics discussed.

I am honored to be featured as a “healthy-n-green” Interior Designer giving tips on how you can make your indoor living area a space which promotes wellness. There are many easy ways to accomplish this, and since we live indoors up to 90% of the time, it is crucial the air we breathe is healthy. At the same time, we can make wise choices in our products to lessen the impact on our global environment. By beginning the process of change, we will see that our choices are all interconnected – all affecting each other on some level. Examples such as using sustainable products such as cork and bamboo, will lessen the impact on our forests. Re-using or donating furnishings not only keep them out of our landfills, but help those who are less fortunate. Products that are safer for our indoor and outdoor air, water and environments will not keep us and our planet healthier.
