WHY JENNIFER IS CHARACTER APPROVED


You've probably noticed that "green" is everywhere these days-from politics to technology and even TV. But recycling your bottles and newspapers can only do so much. It's the people who are actively changing how our materials are manufactured that are powering the movement, and no one is making a bigger splash than Jennifer Siegal. That's why she is Character Approved. Founder and principal of the Los Angeles-based firm, Office of Mobile Design, Siegal's mission is to create the quintessential prefabricated home of the 21st century using lightweight, customizable, and green materials. Taking advantage of building materials like bamboo and featuring large windows and open spaces, these aren't the prefabs you've grown to know. Siegal's idea of prefabrication even saves about 30 percent of the materials that would have been wasted on a regularly constructed home. How green is that? It's the next generation of eco-friendly design, and Siegal's already been working for the last decade on changing the landscape of urban and suburban living. Talk about being ahead of the curve
