Earth sweet home: Living in Comfort-Naturally

摘要

Juliet Cuming and her husband David Shaw became owner-builders and natural home proponents in a roundabout way. Juliet's background is in fashion, and David worked in the film industry. Since 1988, however, Juliet had suffered from a variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms. Like many other chemically sensitive people, it took her years to make the connection between her health problems and the pollutants in her home and workplace.rnThe more the couple learned about natural building, the more they became interested in shifting their careers toward the promotion of these ideas—and in putting some of these ideas to work for themselves. "We wanted to use our skills promoting something other than rock bands," noted David, comfortable in a hemp-upholstered chair in their Dummerston, Vermont, home this past July.
