This spring Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry have crisscrossed the country much as they did during the senator’s Democratic bid for the presidency in 2004.

This time the two are on a different campaign, to champion the work of so-called “new environmentalists” and their causes through their just-released book “This Moment on Earth: Today’s New Environmentalists and their Vision for the Future.”

Both Kerry and Heinz have been long time leaders in environmental causes. As a fourterm U.S. senator, Kerry has won consistently high approval ratings from environmental watchdog groups and has sponsored wide-ranging federal legislation to protect the oceans, regional fisheries and air quality.

As chairman of The Howard Heinz Endowment and the Heinz Family Philanthropies, Teresa Heinz has been recognized as one of this country’s leading philanthropists and as a visionary leader on issues of health and the environment, education, community development and the arts. Since taking the helm of the Heinz family philanthropies after the 1991 death of her first husband Senator John Heinz, she has overseen the awarding of millions of dollars annually.

Heinz, the daughter of a Portuguese doctor specializing in oncology, was born Teresa Simoes-Ferriera and was raised in Mozambique before attending schools in South Africa and Switzerland. She has served as a lead representative for the United States at numerous international conferences on human rights, the environment and related issues.

In “This Moment on Earth,” Kerry and Heinz find outstanding examples of those who are leading the way in the new environmental movement, from a Cape Cod mother to an apple grower in Washington State to leaders in Washington.

All are fighting air and water pollution, cancer-causing household chemicals and other “big picture” environmental issues that are affecting them, their families and their neighbors in highly personal ways.

In early April, N Magazine editor Bill Ferrall spoke with Heinz from her home in Sun Valley, Idaho—she and Kerry also keep homes in Washington, DC, in Boston and here on Nantucket—about how the book came about and about her unique views on today’s environmental challenges.

Part I of that interview explores what inspired the book and the big environmental issues that Heinz believes we must deal with first. Part II of our interview will be published in the Late Spring issue of N near the end of May.

Who came up with the idea for the book?

I was thinking of doing one on my work with women’s health and the environment. John thought that from everything we saw and experienced while on the (presidential) campaign, we should really do something on the environment. I didn’t think we could do something that was true to who we both are and to what we each think. Not that we have a lot of terrible differences, but a book is a personal statement. Then we figured it out: I would focus on the areas that I have more experience, and he would do his. Then we’d read each other’s work and give each other ideas and questions. That’s how we did it. By not focusing on us as much as the result of our experiences with other people, it becomes a book that honors the efforts of these people as citizens. It’s not just a dry ‘issue’ book and it’s not just a personal storytelling book. It’s a story about all of us and where we are.

I like the balance. Did either of you develop unexpected passions for some topic in the book?

some topic in the book? We were aware of and exposed to more issues than we could put in the book. There are certain things that we didn’t deal with very much—like population growth—not because we don’t think it’s a very big problem [but because] it’s a problem we’re not going to solve in ten years by ourselves. Other things are much more urgent.

What does it take to motivate someone to become an environmental activist? What is it about their character?

A lot of the people who we talk about don’t consider themselves environmental activists. Some don’t even like ‘tree huggers.’ That’s why we call them the ‘new environmentalists.’

They’re doing environmental work, they just don’t necessarily think of it that way. Just like I didn’t grow up and get stamped, or become, an environmentalist as such. I was interested in doing what I do before that word was even out.

The book is an invitation to people to be smart, be observant, ask questions and demand the right thing. In the case of Helen Reddout [a Washington State apple and cherry farmer who fought sewage pollution from nearby dairy facilities], it took twenty years—seven years just to get that court case going—and she had no help from anybody. She was a farmer, sixth generation. She just knew this [situation] was really wrong. In her case, she saw the smells and then the polluted waters in her own aquifer. She said she should have read the Clean Water Act, but she didn’t even know it existed.

Do people in this country take a lot of time to act because everyone’s so used to listening to authority?

I would say that’s actually more [true] in Europe than it is here. People in Europe are more accepting of the law and having to do without sometimes. Here, we’ve had so much bounty and wealth of mountains, water, food and big houses. People, generally speaking, have had a lot more here than anywhere else. If you show them the advantages of doing something [better] this way over that way, they’ll forge ahead and do it very fast.

So you think Americans are more questioning?

Generally I do. I think it’s just a question of our history, of the wealth of this nation as a whole.Yet, we don’t have a hybrid car for everybody. Why not?

That’s happening more and more in Europe.

And in Europe the cars are much smaller. Did John tell you about the lithium battery device being made partly in Massachusetts? He saw it on a Toyota Prius last week, and it got 150 miles to the ‘gallon.’ That’s amazing. It is a plug-in, so you plug it in to the house. The question would be what if your source of energy is a very polluting one.You have to go to the source. That’s the next ‘statement.’ That’s more of a community statement. If you make the individual commitment, then you work in the community—and the government should, too—to make sure you’re not polluting.

You’re a special person in that you have a world view of these things. What are the top issues that people should be caring about in terms of the environment?

Number one is global climate change. Because poor people—in fact, anybody who is living on coasts—will be most affected by rising waters. We’re seeing this in Florida and Louisiana, in the terrible storms that have devastated the southern part of the country and in tornadoes in the middle. Global climate change is kind of the envelope we live in and it affects everything. It affects growth. It affects rainfall and therefore creates deserts, migration and hunger.

We’re experimenting [in Idaho] with some trees that normally in the cold climate would not do well. But in forests up here, twenty-five minutes away from here, when you get into the real open wilderness, a lot of the evergreens are dying with a beetle [infestation] because they’ve had five very warm winters.

As scientists will tell you—and we’ve had cycles of three or four sequentially bad, meaning warm, winters—that bugs or gnats in there don’t die. So now you’re seeing millions of acres in Canada, all the way up north, where trees are just dying. If you lose the trees, you lose one of nature’s carbon six. It’s devastation. That’s global climate change. It causes asthma, it causes desertification, it causes flooding, it causes terrible storms. ‘Cause’ is a big word, but it’s all linked. I’m looking to plant a mixture of trees… to see if we can get some nut trees to grow up here as a source of protein.

What are the tangible ways that people can get a grasp on this?

Nantucket is a little island. I have principals about islands and about houses that are on water, [freshwater] river or marine. You should not, for those houses, put anything on the soil. No lawns that look like Kentucky bluegrass or the greens at St. Andrew’s [Golf Course]. That is not appropriate.

I can have a lawn that looks half decent. I don’t want perfection there. We have to keep our water safe. There’s a lot of toxicity in our houses from sprays and things we use. One of my interests in [breast cancer on Cape Cod] in ‘93 was ‘is this another case where the aquifers are destroyed?’

It was interesting that in Marin County [in California,] on Long Island [in New York] and on Cape Cod, they had these huge concentrations of cancer. I kept thinking, ‘Are the aquifers damaged? Are they drinking and eating vegetables that have bad water?’ They actually did a study on the carcinogenicity of that, and it turned out to be the DDT and all the sprays and all the household products. My dad was an oncologist, and it’s interesting to me. The connection between junk and cancer is more and more certain.

Two decades before the words “global” and “warming” appeared in the same phrase describing our planet’s health, Nantucket and Connecticut interior designer Trudy DuJardin began building “green” from the inside-out. Long interested in how work and living spaces might affect people’s health, DuJardin began suggesting interior alterations that would be sensitive to her clients’ and her contractors’ allergies, and would cause minimal impact on the environment.

“It started in 1987 when I purchased a house on Nantucket in Monomoy,” said DuJardin, a member of ASID, the American Society of Interior Designers. “Sitting near the harbor, I felt a tremendous responsibility. Because I love this island, I wondered ‘How do I do this the right way?’”

With her thoughts on preserving the health of Nantucket Harbor and its bay scallop fishery, DuJardin focused—like a growing number of other Nantucket builders, architects, designers and homeowners— on creating environmentally sensitive spaces using less harmful construction techniques and materials.

DuJardin acted long before recent dire predictions of global warming, cataclysmic weather events and irreversible climate changes in the not-so-distant future. Today, that hoopla makes her smile, because she didn’t need the knock to her awareness before she began designing healthy, smart spaces. To her it made common sense back then, and she has since designed or overseen a number of from-the-ground-up “green” building projects focused on creating safe and healthy living spaces with minimal environmental impact.

For DuJardin, crafting Earth-friendly and eco-healthy styles came from her assimilation of environmentally sound interior design practices for use in so-called “sustainable development,” using safe and easily renewable resources. For much of the Nantucket design and building industry, that change has come more recently, like a rude awakening from a late spring frost.

Orange Juice Paint

Her Monomoy house was an experiment for DuJardin, who learned that the multi-dimensional basics of green building could be healthy for her clients, for those putting the house together and for the island environment.

“In a holistic way, it’s not just for the end-user of the house. It’s also for the health of the people working on the house and the people in the factory producing the products,” she explained.

Using the harbor’s then high water quality as her standard, DuJardin committed to not using any materials, solvents or paints that contained volatile organic compounds. Instead of particleboard heavily laden with toxic binders, she sheathed her house in CDX plywood— which uses less formaldehyde in its ply-bonding glue—and steel instead of laminated beams, which are also heavily glued. Floor finishes were created from citrus-based coatings that made the house smell like tangerines. “We had a chemist who came up with a water-based urethane,” she said. “The painters said they loved working there because they never got headaches.” Another project followed at her home in Westport, Connecticut, where mold and drainage issues presented new obstacles and where she discovered that future renovations could be even more challenging. Today, her specialty is environmentally healthy interior design. Through her design company DuJardin Design Associates, DuJardin has become a national expert on non-toxic building materials and sustainable design. Communities in Vermont, on Long Island in New York and in Arizona—each designed as sustainable, green-built projects—have consulted her. DuJardin has also appeared at numerous national conferences on the subject and serves
as an active member of the ASID Sustainable Design Board.

Greening Nantucket

Since highlighting sustainable practices in her business, DuJardin has seen a sea change from her clients’ early resistance to paying extra for green interiors to a quickly accelerating drive towards building as green as possible. “In 1987, people didn’t feel the urgency that they feel today,” noted DuJardin. “Now, people are really feeling the need with global warming and pollution.” That line of thinking is finally taking hold on Nantucket, as the island’s building industry discovers the financial and environmental benefits of capitalizing on“eco-clients.”With the wave of green building in relative terms just breaking on Nantucket’s shores, those committed to the core of building green, from blueprints to certificates of occupancy, are still few on the island, although interest appears to be growing rapidly as the ecological imperative to heal the Earth gains ground.

“Fledgling” is how Architect Rebecca Anderson of Milton Rowland & Associates describes Nantucket’s green building world.“I think it is sort of an emerging market in a number of places. People have been fairly comfortable in their niches; it’s been slow to come here,” she said. “I mean, we do ‘Nantucket’ houses. They’re high-end and they’re covered in shingles. If people want a house [here], there are three to choose from. We’re not used to experimenting with our house styles or our choices.”

Anderson, however, is more than ready to mix it up. Late this past winter, she and two local builder friends, Ian Konecko and Burr Tupper, started Verde—Spanish for “green”—as a consulting, design and building firm focused on building green whenever possible.

Green Up Close

Architectural firm Chip Webster & Associates also preaches green to its clients and is designing the new facility for Small Friends of Nantucket as the island’s first green school building.

To do so, Webster called upon his colleague architect Steven Blashfield to design the project and guide Small Friends’ building committee through the process of selecting green building materials and techniques, as well as energy efficient heating, cooling and power systems.

Blashfield, among others locally, has earned certification as an architect in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, a recognition given by the U.S. Green Building Council to builders and architects and to commercial buildings or private homes.

Before hanging out their business shingle, Verde’s founders all got their LEED certifications for designing structures on three levels of increasing environmental soundness:gold, silver or platinum, based on a complex grading system. LEED is the only wholly green certification on Nantucket today.

Although the Nantucket Historic District Commission has for years reviewed applications including solar panels and the odd personal wind turbine, the agency’s guidebook, “Building with Nantucket In Mind,” offers no specific parameters for building green or for sustainability. Webster has designed his own new house, currently under construction by builder Ron Fesko’s Mustang Construction Group, to include as many green or sustainable elements as possible.

He also purchased a bus that he plans to convert to ethanol fuel sources to serve as a mobile design and project management lab. Other builders getting into the green building act include Michael Haigley, Twig Perkins and Rob Andersen, who helped Pi Pizza owner Evan Marley install solar water heaters and other energy-efficient aspects at his house in Fisher’s Landing. Passionate about the environment Anderson and Webster say that the potential for the success of green building practices on Nantucket runs as deeply as the pockets of their clients.“I think, realistically, [it’s] huge, because there’s already a whole lot of money involved and because there’s an identifiable need here to reduce our energy use and our output of waste,” said Anderson.

“Whatever we’re saving in land we’re wasting in our buildings, and then throwing away what we’ve torn down. It would be a change from what we’re doing, but the appearance of it wouldn‘t be radical.” “The reason for Nantucket to build green is the same reason for everyone to build green,” said Webster. “Nantucket has always been in the public eye, so for Nantucket to lead by example through building green is a wonderful opportunity. Another reason for Nantucket [to adopt these practices] is that many materials are shipped to the island. Fewer materials shipped would mean less fossil fuel was used to bring materials here.” According to Webster, Marine Home Center’s head building supplies buyer Mark Songer is already on that bus. Webster and Anderson credit Songer with organizing a green building materials seminar last summer and with stocking green building materials that, when combined with all other aspects of ecobuilding, can keep the costs on par with conventional construction. Even so, green building can cost 10% to 15% more if certain elements of a building are substituted with earth-friendly materials, cautioned Webster.

Building green from the ground up can be done by using less concrete in foundations, using mixed concrete-hard foam panels or by mixing recycled materials into the concrete. Advanced framing techniques can save up to 30% in lumber. In many cases, sustainability can be better achieved with framing materials made in environmentallysound harvesting operations, by using blown-in insulation and by installing sustainable interior materials such as bamboo and cork flooring. Double-paned windows, natural lighting, solar heating and power, energy-efficient appliances and myriad other techniques contribute to long-term savings. Still, there are those who are missing the message from Mother Earth.

“A lot of our clients still call saying, ‘I want beautiful interiors and I don’t care about the air.’ We’re just passionate about the environment, and this is a piece of it,” said DuJardin.

The renovation of a small Gothic Revival cottage on a shell-encrusted lane in ‘Sconset is causing a bit of a stir among both the natives and visitors to this historic village on Nantucket. And, thankfully, it’s not for the usual reasons.

“My self-imposed mandate is both to preserve it and bring it to new life,” said new owner Ginger Ivey.

“When I first entered Wolfhead,” Ivey said, “I immediately absorbed the very essence of the eighty-five summers enjoyed here by one lively and interesting family—the Penroses.” The family’s history was indeed woven into the very fabric of the house since its inhabitants had covered the walls with photographs and stuffed every corner and nook with memorabilia of their times with friends and loved ones at their little summer house near the sea.

“What resonated with me from the beginning,” Ivey continued, “was how this house evoked the spirit of times gone by—when Nantucket Island was the kind of place where people would spontaneously pack a picnic for the beach, sit on a porch swing while taking in the sea air, read a good book on a rainy day or grab one of the fishing poles hanging from the rafters, [then] amble off and catch dinner. People just weren’t dressing to the nines every night and going to a couple of fundraisers every week.”

Unspoiled History

That is the life Ivey longs to create for herself, her family and friends and as she renovates the house in the spirit of the summer cottage it is, bringing the kitchen and bathrooms up-to-date while rigorously keeping the charm and character of the place.

“I am so sickened by the desecration of many historic houses here”, Ivey explained, “that I am determined to preserve as much of the original house as I possibly can.“The good news for me is that the family never did anything to the house that they didn’t have to as far as maintenance is concerned. So nothing was spoiled. It was in surprisingly good condition, considering the benign neglect it endured.”

The front verandah of Wolfhead was the most dilapidated part of the house and
has been rebuilt exactly as it was. Ivey’s friend Bill Starbuck, a lifetime summer resident of ‘Sconset, said, “I grew up knowing the family; my parents played bridge with Mr. and Mrs. Clem Penrose, but I hadn’t been in the house for at least ten years until Ginger bought it. When I went inside, I saw that it was absolutely caught in a time warp and I said,‘Wow, what a project this is going to be!’”

Wolfhead needed major re-shingling and a new roof. Nonetheless, Ivey’s goal is to “keep it simple,” and to that end, she has forgone winterizing or straightening of floors, although the downstairs floors will be painted in a traditional diamond pattern.

Some of the old bathroom fixtures will be kept. No marble vendors need apply. She has worked with Nantucket painter Ian McNiece to keep much of the original paint on the open stud ceilings in the bedrooms—shades of blue in two rooms and green in another—while painting the rest of the interior a soothing shade of off-white.

The result is that one walks through the lovely arched double Gothic doors into an open, airy living room with exposed beams and a charming fireplace that takes the chill off cool summer nights. The dining room, large enough to seat 10 guests, will be graced with its original chandelier.

“Yes, I hope it will be a pretty cottage, welcoming and easy to live in, easy to keep up. I expect there to be sand on the floor, and I won’t mind a bit,” Ivey joked. Longtime ‘Sconset residents and curious strollers alike have been drawn to the activity at Wolfhead, frequently interrupting the work to comment or ask questions. Ivey really doesn’t mindbecause so many of those people share their memories of the cottage and its owners with her.

“I am very charmed by that history. It makes Wolfhead even more special,” she said. She also appreciates the accolades she has received for her sensitive restoration. “I can’t tell you how many people have made comments such as, ‘Thank goodness you are not ruining that wonderful old place!’”

Wolfhead is thought to have been built around 1873 by Charles Robinson. The Nantucket architect-builder was responsible for building most of the Victorian, Queen Anne style houses on the island, including“Fair Isle,” the house on Fair Street that Ivey also owns and occupies and that Robinson built for his own home.

Both houses, built with “carpenter Gothic” practices of the period, feature gingerbread-style adornments on their façades, steeply pitched roofs, pointed Gothic windows and double front doors.

Dave and Sandy Schulz mean business when it comes to good health and fitness. As owners of Nantucket Health Club, the couple oversees the island’s oldest complete fitness facility. For the Schulzes, serious attention to healthy living begins at home with their 9-year-old son Tyler.

The Schulzes even named their recreational boat Weight and Sea as an ever-present but humorous reminder of the lifestyle they’ve chosen. But that doesn’t mean they forgo good times with family and friends.

Late this spring, after finishing an interior renovation to their Nantucket home, the Schulzes invited friends and colleagues over for a night of fun and as a thank-you to those who transformed their home, which served this night as the haven for a heart-healthy meal from Annye’s Whole Foods.

“Live long. Be strong. Laugh a lot,” says Annye’s motto. For the Schulzes, Annye’s owner Annye Camara, helped by chefs Gail Spencer and Carolyn Walsh, brought that message to their home with a meal planned by Walsh’s daughter Gillian Walsh, a 2000 Nantucket High School graduate studying for a degree in nutritional science at Simmons School for Health Studies in Boston.

Barbara Gookin—a guest of the Schulzes and an NHC client whose fitness program will be followed this year by N Magazine— judged the grilled vegetable stacks that night as “wonderful, delicious.” Similar praise for Annye’s preparations came from the Schulz’s other guests: Lisa Kinerson, an interior designer who oversaw the Schulz’s interior redesign and brought along her daughter Haley Kinerson-White; Chip Gustafson, who installed new cabinetry in the Schulz home; Howie Nair, who put up sheetrock and laid ceramic and stone tile throughout the house; and Lisa Silveira, a Pilates exercise specialist who conducts seasonal classes at NHC.

In creating the menu, Gillian Walsh devised a meal with a nutritious and well-balanced mix of high-quality protein, a healthy amount of fat and complex carbohydrates from vegetables, fruit and a savory angel food cake.

“Providing about thirty grams of protein, this meal is considered low to medium on the glycemic index,” said Walsh, “with slow digesting complex carbohydrates that don’t have significant influence on blood sugar. This allows the body ample time to use these carbs for energy before they are stored as fat, as happens with foods like white breads or white potatoes, which have high glycemic index values.”

Those complex carbohydrates, along with a healthy amount of soluble fibers, can help lower LDL cholesterol. “Rich-colored vegetables and fruits like red tomatoes, blueberries and leafy green vegetables,” explained Walsh, “are packed with phytonutrientslike caroteniods, flaveniods and isoflavenoids, which help protect the body from diseases like cancer and help guard against damage from harsh environmental conditions such as pollution or tobacco smoke.

“A meal full of healthful organic foods helps consumers avoiding harsh chemicals from additives and pesticides. Also, levels of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium and iron, antioxidants and vitamins like C, E and A are, on average, higher in organic foods.”

With dinner at the Schulz’s as their guests’ prescription to “live long” and “be strong,” the party was left only to “laugh a lot” and enjoy the good times.

It’s entirely fitting that when Robin and Eugene “E. J.” Harvey opened their SeaGrille Restaurant on Nantucket 16 years ago it was Easter Sunday.

This warm and family-friendly dining establishment has become a favorite for locals and visitors alike to gather over food and drink for special times. On many nights throughout the year, you’ll find longtime pals, co-workers and families gathered around SeaGrille tables with satisfied smiles.

Recently, N Magazine recognized SeaGrille as a favorite spot for another spring tradition: Mother’s Day. In a gathering that happened coincidentally on International Women’s Day, Robin Harvey invitedthree of SeaGrille’s favorite motherdaughter customers—including two daughters about to be mothers themselves
—as guests for an enjoyable spring meal of SeaGrille specialties, including steamed mussels, seared East Coast halibut, lobster and fanciful deserts.

You might expect good feelings like those shared by these mothers and daughters in a place where the owners and staff greet you by first name, where the decor highlights local life and where the food reliably pleases diners.

Fresh, Local Food

The Harveys concede that they tend to shy from trendy, new-wave restaurant practices in favor of tradition and theirknowledge of what works best. After more than 25 years together in the local restaurant business—the two are now the longest running restaurant-owning couple on Nantucket—they’ve refined their niche for offering high-quality, fresh regional dishes made with local ingredients whenever
possible.

Besides the halibut dish, on The SeaGrille menu you’ll find “creative coastal” preparations of sautéed sole picatta and two of their much-ordered specialties: linguica crusted Chatham day boat cod and a Nantucket bouillabaisse of lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops in season and swordfish topped with a flavorful rouille.

Many sample their rich and creamy lobster bisque or perennially award winning chowder, served up at island parties under the name “Nantucket Chowder Company.”

Elsewhere on the menu, diners can make lighter choices from an extensive raw bar or from up to a half-dozen salads, many made with locally grown, organic greens. Steaks, lamb and pork entrees’ round out one of the island’s largest menus.

The wide-ranging SeaGrille wine cellar boasts three straight years of winning the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Diners can enjoy casual fare and drinks in the cozy bar area adjoining the main dining room; an outdoor patio fills up quickly during Nantucket summer months.

As the “front of the house” manager and hostess, Robin Harvey said she often “makes the kitchen crazy” with special requests from diners, who can also order their seafood or meats prepared in simple and nutritionally light versions. Chef-owner E.J Harvey nearly always obliges. Underscoring the family
atmosphere at SeaGrille, Robin explained, “People say they feel like they are at home when they come here.We want them to feel comfortable.”

A Family Affair

After owning two other island eateries during the 1980s, the Harveys opened The SeaGrille in 1991. Since then, they have renovated and upgraded the Sparks Avenue building almost annually, recently freshening up the interior to include poster-sized blackand- white images of historic Nantucket from Nantucket Historical Association archives. Over the years, the local restaurant business has shifted, according to the Harveys.

“We would have college kids coming in groups looking for wait staff positions. Now we hardly ever see college kids,” said Robin, because limited summer housing has made it difficult for them. For partial relief, the Harveys have called on their children – Kari, Adriene and Tucker – to pitch in at almost every job in the restaurant and with their busy catering business. Tucker currently attends E.J’s alma mater, the Culinary Institute of America. “We have called our kids off the couch in a snow storm to come to work,” noted Robin.

Mother-daughter guests at The SeaGrille included Robin Harvey and Adriene ombardi; Marian Stanton and Andrea Marie Lamb; Jacquie Bixby and Amanda Bixby and athleen Psaradelis and Jen Psaradlis. SeaGrille staff present included artenders Richard rannigan and Jeff Sharpe; servers Rhonda Veilleux and Jamie Lavin and assisting chefs Jeff Knab and Jeff Weiner.
