Introduction

From conception infants are fed plastic and chemicals through the placenta, breastmilk, and home air. They are swaddled in plastic sheets, pillows, clothes, and grow up consuming contaminated food, air, and water.

It’s patently unfair that this kind of Geographical Lottery exists. The house you are born into shouldn’t determine your future, merit and effort should.

To solve this Geographical Lottery, OpenHabitat envisions a perfect exposome for everyone, designed once, released openly, and free for anyone to copy.

What is the exposome?

The sum total of everything that has ever touched you since the moment of conception — every bite, breath, photon, fiber, sound, and chemical your body has encountered.

While we cannot turn your family, or the school you attend into “code”, what we can do is turn your habitat into code. By doing so we can distribute a blueprint for optimal habitats to everyone.

OpenHabitat is that blueprint. Every system, every space, every product decision worked out in the open so optimal environments evolve as fast as the threats do.
