An award-winning author and journalist, Linda Mason Hunter is an internationally recognized expert in home ecology and green living. She has researched and written eleven books as well as hundreds of articles and tips on architecture, design, and living in balance with nature.

Three of her most successful books focus on green and healthy homes - The Healthy Home: An Attic-To-Basement Guide To Toxin-Free Living (Rodale, 1989), Green Clean: The Environmentally Sound Guide to Cleaning Your Home (with Mikki Halpin; Melcher, 2005), and Creating a Safe & Healthy Home (CPI, 2005). She also wrote and produced five home renovation and remodeling books for Better Homes and Gardens books in the 1990s, teamed with Matthew Schoenherr and Wendy Jordan to write two more for Taunton Press in 2005 and 2007; produced Southwest Style: A Home-Lover’s Guide to Architecture and Design (Northland) in 2000, and put together a desktop calendar of green living tips (Sellers) for 2010 and 2011.

Her articles have appeared in such mass circulation magazines as Better Homes and Gardens, Ladies Home Journal, and Family Circle as well as in such environmental, trade, and housing-related publications as Home Energy, Natural Home, Mother Earth News, Eco@Home, Fine Home Building, Ultimate Home Design, and Utne Reader.

Since publication of her first book in 1989, Hunter's work continues to earn national recognition. The New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, and many others have published articles and book reviews, and she has appeared on ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America,” CNN's “Daybreak” and “Earth Watch,” and programs aired on CNBC, MSNBC, and the CBC, to name a few. In 1992 she founded Healthy Home Designs, marketing architect-designed home plans on the Internet. One of her plans, Maple Forest, was featured in the PBS television series "Hometime."

Hunter was one of the founders of GreenHome.com in 1999. In 2007 she was one of three experts short-listed to appear on Oprah Winfrey’s Earth Day television show. Currently, she hosts her own daily radio program "In the Green Zone," providing a wealth of tips promoting sustainability with daily choices and actions.

Magazine editors recognize Hunter as a valuable thought leader and routinely consult her as an expert source on green living. She averages one to two interviews a week, including (most recently) Kiwi (aimed at mothers with young children), Cent$ (magazine for the American Airlines credit union), DiscoverEdge (website of Discover Card), and Natural Foods Merchandiser (marketed through national grocery chains)--thus regularly keeping her name before the public.

In her effort to bring the message of inspiring, ecological, and wiser living to wider audiences, she speaks to all sizes of groups, either singly or on a panel. Past bookings include EPIC Sustainable Expo (Vancouver BC, 2008), Shaklee Corp. (New York City, 2006-07), Center on Sustainable Communities (Des Moines, Iowa 2007), Wellness Resources (Tampa. FL 2008), and EcoFocus (St. Petersburg, FL 2010). She consults with individual homeowners as well as corporations, organizations, and governments.

"The old myth of unlimited growth alienates human beings from nature. To live sustainably we must respect nature and live by its rules. We must walk softly, leaving as small a footprint as possible."
