Jenny Pippin is one of those rare individuals who, to recite the old cliche, truly puts her "money where her mouth is." Believing in sustainability and sensitivity to the world in which she lives, her goal was to create a liveable "green" home to showcase to others those same principles. And so she did just that. As a building designer, she is uniquely qualified to guide other designers and builders in the real-life "lessons learned" towards true sustainability.
