<p>I am passionate about living a green healthier life.  Green For A Reason was created as a hub for green building professionals and products, so that everyone could have easier access to those who are helping us live in a healthier environment as well as having less of an impact on our planet.</p>
<p>I thought I was living a healthy life but as I started my research on the materials currently being used to build our homes, I began to realize that there were many toxins in our everyday life and environment that I knew nothing about.  In my struggle and search for a healthier home I decided to compile my knowledge and findings and open this website to people all over the world, so they too could find healthier, greener products and professionals who are passionate about green.</p>
<p>My goal for this site is to contain green professionals, building materials, flooring, windows, doors, fixtures, paint, stains, furniture and fabrics, just to name a few.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Catherine</p>
