BUY GREEN, BUY LOCAL

NATURAL HOME MAGAZINE says
"All over North America, people are snapping up healthy building and home décor items that reflect their environmental sensibilities — and green companies are blossoming.  We asked some of these retailers to share how to shop for green building products. Here’s what they told us."
  1.    Buy from a reputable supplier. “Work with professionals who share your values and have an expertise in green, including suppliers.  Greenwashing is becoming a significant issue, so expertise, experience and ethics are important.”
  2.    Look beyond price. “A product could be cheaper due to unfair labor practices.  Buy locally made materials, and think about ways to reuse and recycle.”
  3.    "Test products if you’re chemically sensitive.  Just because something is natural doesn’t mean it’s nontoxic.  Products labeled low- or no-VOC aren’t completely free of all synthetic chemicals, and not all chemicals are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.”  For more information visit www.epa.gov/iaq/ia-intro.html

EcoLogic Life began in 2007 when founder and manager Cynthia Grier made a trip to Ojai and Ventura County, CA and recognized the strong desire of the people to shift their lifestyle to a much more sustainable way of living. She set out with a mission...

to make eco-friendly building materials accessible to all, and to teach ways of creating beautiful, healthy, affordable environments that promote sustainability and can be a source of well being.

Cynthia has been a proponent of environmental causes for many years, beginning with Environmental Studies courses in college. She received her degree in Interior Environmental Design and began her career as an Interior Designer. She then worked many years as a manufacturer's representative for a variety of building materials and finishes. During that time, she built two new homes of her own with conventional building materials. She became very ill and it took a few years to determine that it was her homes, with their toxic finishes and materials, which were making her ill. By changing her environment and surrounding herself with natural and healthy alternatives, she has regained her health.
