Cordaro notes that California, Colorado, and Texas are home to quite a few environmental consultants, particularly interior decorators. The same isn’t true east of the Mississippi, she says. Delia Montgomery, owner of Chic Eco Consultation Services in Lexington, Kentucky, agrees. “It’s real slow coming to the East,” she says.

Montgomery does personal shopping for eco-friendly clothes and household furnishings. Rather than designing entire houses, she deals with specific requests such as planning an eco-friendly wedding and tracking down specific items.

Tom Kay, president of EcoMall, says his website (www.ecomall.com) lists some environmental consultants, but while “every architectural firm has a green freak” and there are plenty of feng shui consultants and environmental interior decorators, “there are very few omnipresent people who are smart enough and diverse enough to come to your house and tell you how to do everything from full-spectrum lighting to feng shui.”

Kay recommends that potential clients shop locally first. “Go to any health food store, pick up a local guide, and see who’s listed,” he says. You might have to hire several consultants to get your house and garden entirely into shape. Cordaro recommends a search through the Natural Resource Directory (www.nrd.com) and the Co-op America Directory, particularly for environmental interior designers. “You really have to do some sleuthing,” she says.
