Building materials can be very toxic. Insulations, adhesives, and paints can be particularly bad for you, especially during the construction phase, but can also off-gas carcinogens for years.
EcoVan.org shares information on the latest eco-friendly materials that are appropriate for constructing a camper van that is capable of long-term, on and off-road travel. We consider ecological material philosophies like ‘Cradle-to-Cradle’ and LEED, while also considering durability and performance.
It’s one thing to choose a non-toxic, natural material for your walls, but it’s another thing to design your tiny van home according to ecological design principles.
EcoVan.org has resources to help you understand and design ecological living spaces that feel comfortable, spacious, and dialed for your own lifestyle, needs, and hobbies.
Once you have your materials ordered and designs drafted up, it’s time to create your new ecological home; a naturally-human nest on wheels!
EcoVan.org has resources on minimizing your exposure to toxins, reducing waste, and turning your construction phase into an opportunity to make art!
