About

Robin Pharo was frustrated by the same Green advice with that snarky attitude that “if you don’t do it my way the world will implode and it will all be your fault”. So she decided to create a book, consulting firm and consumer website that provides straight forward, practical ideas without a lot of guilt.

Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

I was frustrated by the same Green advice with that snarky attitude that “if you don’t do it my way the world will implode and it will all be your fault”. So I decided to create a book, consulting firm and consumer website that provides straight forward, practical ideas without a lot of guilt. I should know, too. Currently I hold a number of high profile positions within the areas of green and healthy buildings. I am the Founder and President of Healthy Homes, a Green/Healthy Building consultancy firm in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. I am also President of the Treysta Group, LLC, a company dedicated to green business development and certification. Finally, I am Director of the Green Built Home Program, a program of the Wisconsin Environmental Initiate that supports voluntary Green Building programs for single and multi-family homes. For the NAHB, I assisted in their rollout of the National Green Certification program as a member of their local homebuilder association working group and I'm recognized by the NAHB Research Center in Washington, D.C., as a trainer for the program.
