Beautiful Day at the Herb Fair!

We had such a great time at Bastyr on Saturday! If you have never been to the Bastyr campus, you should find an excuse to visit. What a beautiful campus! It’s not every day that I get an opportunity to sit amongst a giant herb garden. Just being there makes me feel healthier.

The day of the herb fair, the weather took a pleasant turn from dark, dreary and wet to beautiful, sunny and warm. A great day to be outside! And a great day to be outside launching Eco-Home Consultations! This was my first official public appearance and it was a success. I learned a lot about what people are looking for in green living advice. Motivations for living green run from concern for the environment or health, to saving money, to getting involved in a growing trend. I talked to many people who had never heard of such a service and were skeptical about what I can do for them. But there were lots of people who agreed that green living consultation is a much needed service. It was a great start to what I hope will be a great service to many.

Being at an event that was geared towards natural health issues, I encountered a high percentage of people who already live pretty green. But I’m sure there are some things that I can still help the seasoned greenie with – a fresh set of eyes can usually point out a few things. But I am certain that those who already live fairly green have people in their lives that could use some coaching. Why not give green living as a gift? And if you are thinking that Eco-Home is only for energy efficiency, I will tell you that this is only a small part of what I offer. Let’s look at your consumer practices, your food footprint, or your transportation habits. There are so many things that you can do to lighten your impact on the environment and save money doing it!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat. I hope you enjoyed Bastyr as much as I did. And, I look forward to getting to know you! Remember, if you have a question, blog idea or would like to schedule a service, send me a note at Melissa@ecohomeconsults.com.
