About
With the motto “Sustainable design for the next generation“, Inhabitots is the baby / parenting focused website in the Inhabitat family. The site was started during the summer of 2008 by Inhabitat.com founder Jill Fehrenbacher as she prepared for the arrival of her first child in August 2008. We recognize that the birth of a child is a turning point in people’s lives and the impetus for many people to ‘go green’ and really start researching the materials and production involved in all items that closely touch our lives. With this in mind, Inhabitots.com was created as a resource for parents, families, and anyone else interested in sustainable modern design for children. With a focus on design specifically targeted at babies, toddlers and kids, Inhabitots.com is a supplement to the wider focus of Inhabitat.com

Jill is the founder of Inhabitots.com, the founder and publisher of Inhabitat.com and a green designer living in New York City. She created Inhabitots in the summer of 2008 in preparation for the arrival of her first baby. She is an avid idealist, design junkie and believes firmly that becoming a parent doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style or ideals. At least not too much.

Jennifer is a full-time freelance writer, problogger, and an unschooling mama of an amazing seven year old boy. Besides blogs, her writing background includes copy for non-profits, web projects, national magazine articles, and business proposals. She currently writes for a handful of green minded blogs including Tree Hugging Family, Slices of Green, Little Slices of Green, and Green Home Tips. She also covers topics like unusual structures, saving money, pregnancy, organizing, and more. Obsessions other than writing include Frisbee with her son, road trips (sadly not so green; but fun), books, music, chill people, and barrels of coffee. She recently moved back to the rainy Pacific Northwest after stints in Humboldt and the far too sunny Albuquerque.
