Green furniture
Green furniture is stylish furniture that’s kind to the environment. Buying green lessens your impact on the planet, which is a concept that everyone should be embracing right now. Wood is still the most popular furniture-making material, but the world is in desperate need of more trees not less!
Green furniture could include any of the following:
• Certified sustainable wood
• Reclaimed wood or reclaimed furniture
• Bamboo – it’s actually a grass, versatile, grows fast and is sustainable
• Recycled plastic or metal – look for it
• Low-toxicity furniture – made with materials containing less volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Vintage – doesn’t require any further resources to manufacture
• Buying local – keeps local money in the area and decreases the environmental impact of shippingGreen furniture might sound like a liberal or new-agey hippie concept, but it’s no gimmick. Think eco-friendly. It’s the small changes made in lifestyle and consumerism that just might save the planet.
