E22: Building a Sustainable Home: Practical Green Design for your Health, Wealth and Soul with Melissa Rappaport Schifman
Today's guest is Melissa "Lissie" Rappaport Schifman, the founder of Green Intention LLC, where she writes, speaks, and consults for healthier and more sustainable homes and workplaces. As a LEED Accredited Professional, Lissie has led the LEED certification of several million square feet of commercial property. She is currently the Editor-in-Chief of BuildWithRise.com, an online resource that helps homeowners make healthier, more sustainable decisions for all of their home improvement projects. She is the author of Building a Sustainable Home: Practical Green Design Choices for Your Health, Wealth and Soul. She holds her MBA and MA in Public Policy from the University of Chicago and lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her husband and two daughters.
In today's episode we discuss and learn about how to create and build a sustainable home. We discuss the water you drink and the air you breathe in addition to a number of other topics including landscaping. We love how Lissie stretches us to think about sustainability in the home, a topic that we both had little knowledge on prior to our conversation. She also offers a few easy and practical tips that you can make in your home, which are not only pretty simple but also inexpensive to implement.
We’d love to hear how this episode has inspired you to think about your home and perhaps make a change. Jump on over to IG and share in your stories and tag #theartoflivingwellpodcast.
