E49 Lisa on Cancer Prevention via Healthy Materials

Описание: We lucked into another great interview about toxins in our built environment.

Why great? Because Lisa Goodwin Robbins has the ability to talk about the technical approaches that all building professionals need to understand, and to give us resources to improve our work. She ALSO has the ability to talk about the impacts and the understanding needed at the consumer level, to be informed and deliberate about the surroundings we create for ourselves and our families.

She is wise and smart (two different things) as well as passionate about our responsibilities.

Think about what you purchase at the grocery store. It’s one important layer to understand and select based on supporting your own personal health. It is another to purchase with awareness of the most direct ripple effect - are you able to compost, are there plastics in the packaging? Remember, there is no "away". It is yet another valuable and intensely impactful step to understand what it took to produce that product. Are the workers affected by pesticides on-site, or dangerous processes, or lacking protective rights as laborers.

We live in a wonderful new age where the connections make the world small and the opportunities for improvement unlimited. Thank you, Lisa!
