Greenovate develops workshop series on green building and health
Greenovate announced today that it has developed a six-month workshop series called “Room-by-Room: Green Building and Your Health” to help homeowners create more healthful indoor environments.
Led by panels of local experts, “Room-by-Room” will cover topics such as indoor air quality, lead poisoning prevention, asthma and allergy control, and non-toxic household cleaning. In so doing, the workshops will identify solutions to common health hazards found in particular household areas.
For example, during the June 3 discussion on the bedroom, Alissa DeRouchie of Sprout Soup and Kate Wigand of Mythic Paint will explain the health benefits of alternatives to conventional mattresses, interior paints, and children’s products (e.g., toys and diapers).
