Steve Thomas is the host of Planet Green's Renovation Nation, a program that focuses on making green renovations to homes across the country. In his regular column on PlanetGreen.com, Steve goes behind the scenes of the show and offers additional tips and insight on green renovation.
One of my favorite stories out of Tucson was that the woman whose home we were renovating had a baby during the project. The project was to redo the baby's room and do it green: Low/no VOC paints, a crib made of FSC Forest Stewardship Council wood, etc. The expectant mother was very concerned about indoor air quality and how it affected the baby.
During the shoot, the mother had to leave unexpectedly to go have her baby. When she finally returned to the shoot, she came back with a brand-new baby. That was the first time on Renovation Nation that a baby has been born in the middle of a shoot.
The father is a fireman. The mother works for a company that imports jojoba oil. It was a really cute story, and they were a really cute couple.
