[Greenbuilding] Foam insulation advice needed

[Bobbi Chukran]

Yes, it sounds like there still isn't a really GOOD solution.  I have  
to tell ya, the more I read about the foam, the more I'm thinking  
that we should simplify the whole thing.  I'm a "natural nut"  
anyway.  I do want energy efficiency, lower bills, less impact on the  
environment, etc. BUT if it makes us sick, or sicker, then what's the  
use?

Right now, I'm leaning toward a combo of cellulose, fiberglass batts  
with no formaldehyde, small amounts of foam under the window trim,  
etc. IOW, all the old methods.
