What is Environmental Design?

Video Transcript

Hello, I’m Shelley Jones, and today I’m going to introduce you to environmental design. I’ve had an interest in the environment in particular and just building clean homes, I have taught classes, everything from straw bale, rammed earth, adobe, you name it, cobb, and I also help people decorate their homes in a natural environmentally friendly healthy way.

Many products commonly used in our homes may be hazardous to our health. Labeling laws also make it difficult to know exactly what is in many products. Today more and more people are recognizing the dangers of many products and choosing safer ones. Their actions are in turn bringing even more healthful and environmentally sound products to the marketplace. While reducing our personal exposure to toxics in our home is an important step, there is a bigger issue at hand. We must also consider how our actions as consumers affect other people, species and the planet as a whole. Every time we make a purchase to fulfill our individual needs we also make a choice that affects the environmental quality of the world we live in.

I’m going to give you some basic specific information on how to make the best choices and take the best actions to live in a way that is good for humans and good for the earth. We need to learn how to live nontoxic, natural, and earthwise.
