This episode features Teresa McGrath, the Chief Research Officer for Habitable, a nonprofit that studies the health and environmental effects of building materials. Teresa, an environmental chemist, digs into the environmental implications of paint components and offers scientific insights on sustainable alternatives. Some of her suggestions are even trending - popular wall treatments such as Limewash and Roman clay are healthier alternatives. And if you aren't willing to part with your acrylic paint (we get it!), Teresa outlines what to avoid and what to look for in paint ingredients, as well as where to find more sustainable brands.
