Episode 26 features Rowena Finegan, certified Building Biology Environmental Consultant (BBEC), and owner of Pine Street Natural Interiors in Sausalito, CA. 

Rowena has been specializing in Healthy Home Interior Design for the past sixteen years, and currently uses the principles of Bau-biology in her work.

In 2004, Ms. Finegan collaborated with the owner of a furniture manufacturing company in Los Angeles to create a fully-upholstered furniture line utilizing natural, non-toxic, and sustainable materials. The furniture is sold, along with many other healthy home furnishings at Pine Street Natural Interiors.

She earned her certification as a Building Biology Environmental Consultant (BBEC) through the Building Biology Institute (https://buildingbiologyinstitute.org/ ).

Her 3 takeaways for living in and building a healthy home:

1. Go through your home and responsibly dispose of toxic cleaning supplies.
2. Educate yourself on the products you plan on purchasing.  Make sure they are as clean and healthy as possible.
3. Buy Less, Buy Better Quality

To help become more educated on the subject, she recommends these books:

• Prescriptions for a Healthy House, by Erica Elliott, John Banta, and Paula Baker-Laporte
• Super Natural Home by Beth Greer
