Most clients see meaningful improvement within days or weeks of making the recommended changes.
Your consultation and plan are delivered quickly, and you can move at whatever pace feels sustainable for your family.

One way to determine whether or not a product is considered healthy is to find out if individuals with chemical sensitivities have used it successfully. Relying on manufacturers literature and information can be very problematic, therefore we use the Degree of Green system to help us in our research.

BE ADVISED: VOC content is NOT a metric for human health. VOCs are any unreacted carbon based molecule that contributes to outdoor air pollution and the absence of VOC content is not an indicator the product is healthy. The EPA regulates the VOC list for OUTDOOR AIR POLLUTION only.

VOCS are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency because of their propensity to rise to the upper atmosphere, react with nitrogen and UV and create low level smog. Some chemicals that are carbon based that will rise up actually will not react with nitrogen or UV and they won’t create smog. So the EPA has consider them exempt compounds. It’s about 37 of them that are used throughout the industry. And when these ingredients are used, they do not have to be disclosed on the safety data sheets because they don’t meet that threshold of the EPA. Acetone, ammonia and butyl acetate of the three that are most commonly used in paints and coatings. But it goes well beyond paints and coatings. It goes into things like flooring. And think of carpet, that new carpet smell that we all know that’s a combination of a lot of ingredients that make up a component called styrene butadiene rubber. But one of those ingredients is a chemical called 111-trichloroethylene that is been deemed like this specific chemical that creates that smell. That’s called zero VOC when used in building materials. So when manufacturers claim that their products are zero VOC, they’re not saying they’re zero toxin, they’re saying that their products do not contribute to outdoor air pollution as deemed by the EPA. 

A vast spectrum of severity exists related to chemical sensitivities. Symptom ranges can be as mild as an allergic reaction to pollen, ragweed, such as a slight headache or bodily irritation, to acute flu-like symptoms, skin rashes, and even anaphylactic shock. A person’s body cannot process or filter out the chemical, and reactions can be caused by a specific chemical that one is sensitive to, or any other related chemical. Formaldehyde seems to be a major trigger chemical.

Chemical sensitivity is not something one is born with. It is either developed over time due to low level exposure, or it happens quickly via a massive exposure. In either case, there is no known medically-acceptable cure. However, symptoms can be alleviated through the use of healthier building materials, safer cleaning methods, organic clothing, and a clean diet.
