How to Paint for the Planet (and your health)

If your walls could talk, they would probably go off on a tirade about how disgusted they are being covered in conventional paint. The EPA says indoor air quality is 2 to 5 times worse than outdoor air because of Volatile Organic Compounds in stuff in our homes, like paint. Grist's painted lady, Ask Umbra, shows us a better way to color our worlds. If you care about your walls, indoor air quality, your health and the planets watch this!

Awesome! It'd be great if someday in the future, all paint products can be as green as they can be.
