How to Green your Home
In this audio interview, Margaret Hyde offers tips on how to “green” a home. Hyde, a children’s book author and Oscar-nominated filmmaker, has become known for transforming her 1910 Craftsman-style home into one of the greenest homes in America. In this interview, she recommends light-colored metal roofs and blue jean insulation, which is – yes – made from discarded blue jeans.
Hyde is the author of the Mo’s Nose children’s book series, and she was the producer of the short documentary, The Witness: From the Balcony of Room 306, a chronicle of the final hours of Dr. Martin Luther King’s life as told through memories of civil rights leader the Rev. Samuel Billy Kyles.
Jan Jaben-Eilon was a founding staff writer of the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Since then, she has been the international editor of Advertising Age magazine and has written for such publications as The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Washington Journalism Review, and Consumer Reports. She is the author of soon-to-be-published (There is) Life After Cancer. Jan and her husband have homes in Atlanta and Jerusalem.
