My Chemical-Free House on “Emergency Housing”
April 30, 2014
Corinne Segura of the blog My Chemical-Free House wrote a article called “Emergency Housing.”
From the article:
KOA cabins are located across the US and Canada. The cabins are made from mostly safe materials (mostly wood) and have been reported to be good places to stay for those who are environmentally sensitive. Ask if the wood has been stained recently. The bathrooms are separate and may or may not be mould-free depending on the location. Recently I’m hearing reports of these having gone mouldy. If the foundation or roof is not done right there is a good chance these could go mouldy.
Staying in a cob house (or straw bale, adobe, light straw-clay house) can be a really good option
Ecovillages may rent out rooms in natural homes and there is a possibility of getting in on the communal meal plan as well. Search for some in your area and ask about monthly stays.
The location you choose is also important as the outdoor air can be as important as the indoor air.
