Introduction
Welcome to the beginning of something good.
If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably curious about what it means to create a healthier home — and perhaps a little uncertain about where to start. That’s exactly where this path is designed to meet you. No prior knowledge required. No pressure to change everything at once. Just a gentle introduction to ideas that might shift how you think about the spaces you live in.
Over these ten pieces, we’ll explore what actually makes materials ‘healthy’ — moving beyond marketing claims to understand what genuinely matters. You’ll learn to read certifications with confidence, discover why your bedroom might be the most important room to consider first, and find a pace of change that feels sustainable rather than overwhelming.
The journey from awareness to action doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t need to. Some people will read through this path in a week; others will take months, returning when life allows. Both approaches are equally valid. What matters is that each small step — even just understanding a concept you hadn’t considered before — moves you in a meaningful direction.
By the end of this path, you’ll have a framework for thinking about healthier choices, practical knowledge to inform your decisions, and — most importantly — the confidence to begin. Not to overhaul your entire home, but to make your next choice a more informed one.
That’s enough. That’s where it starts.
