What is Eco Home consultations?

The short answer, this is a green living consultation service designed to help people develop greener habits in their home environments or wherever they spend a significant amount of time. I assess how people maneuver through their day through interview and observation, and then I provide a report on how they can be more environmentally friendly in a way that won’t be too overwhelming.

The more complicated answer is that I know that different people have different needs and wants when it comes to green living and so the services I provide are evolving as I speak. This is good though, we all know that what works for one household doesn’t necessarily work for another so customizing the service ensures that each household gets an action plan specifically designed just for them.

From here on out, you can expect to find weekly updates where I will share things I learn or things I try or experiences I have (good or bad) involving green issues. Tune in next week for my report on homemade baking soda shampoo – does it work and is it better for the environment! The goal is for you to come away with a tidbit of knowledge you can take with you through the week and put something into practice, or share with a friend. If you have any ideas for a blog topic, please email me at Melissa@ecohomeconsults.com. You can also write to me if you would like more information on my services, or if you would like to invite me over to assess your home.

If you would like to talk face to face, I have a booth at the Bastyr Herb and Food Fair this Saturday, June 5th from 10 to 5. My sister-in-law Noel will be selling homemade lotions and our massage therapist Becky will be giving free mini-massages. You can get more information on the fair itself at www.bastyr.edu. Hope to see you there!
