THHS - Interview with Paula Baker-Laporte

Описание: "Wellness is not the absence of illness."

When searching for an expert to help you create a healthy home you will often come across the Building Biology Institute and its members. Originating from Germany and brought to America in 1987 the institute trains and certifies professionals in the Principles of Building Biology. With this knowledge, they are then able to help create healthier homes, schools, and workplaces free of toxic indoor air, tap-water pollutants, and hazards posed by electromagnetic radiation

Today we are blessed to have renowned board member, teacher, and author at the Building Biology Institute, Paula Baker-Laporte. Since 1992, Paula has dedicated her architectural practice to environmentally sound and health-enhancing architecture. She was selected as one of the top 10 green architects in the United States by Natural Home Magazine (July/August 2005 edition).

In this interview Paula introduces us to the benefits of incorporating Building Biology principals; One of the primary goals is the realization that nature is the gold standard for a healthy human environment.
