2 THINGS TO WATCH FOR WHEN ORDERING GREEN FURNITURE

Purchasing furniture that is eco-friendly is an imperative part of preserving the planet. If you are tired of breathing the harmful elements that exist in our air, you may want to consider buying green furniture. This article will showcase 2 things to watch for when ordering green furniture for your home or office.

Read the labels

Always make sure that the green furniture that you acquire for use in your home or workplace is constructed of FSC certified wood. Simply put, purchasing this type of wood furniture will ensure that the trees are kept safe from needless harm. The FSC acts as a kind of environmental watchdog and ensures that as few trees as possible are destroyed. They understand the importance of keeping our forests safe so that animals may have a safe place to live.

Go the route of garage sales and antique stores

Another great method to buy green furniture is to shop at antique stores. These stores carry items that were made many years ago. They are beautiful to the human eye, extremely sturdy, and usually made from quality materials. Look in weekly newspapers to find out where garage sales are taking place. Once you have your list of locations, obtain driving directions to each destination, and search for the best deals. It is often possible to purchase very nice items simply because people want to get rid of them.

In a nutshell, making a choice to replace your old furniture with eco-friendly items is a smart move because you are helping our world to last longer, teaching your family to care about the environment, and not exposing yourself to toxins that can harm your body. These toxins that many pieces of furniture contain can harm both the planet and our bodies. We can live longer, healthier lives if we take the green path to furniture ownership.

Well, back to reality & HDEXPO 2009 is over! Pacific Hospitality design, Inc, & Ana Maria Martinez-Stumpo hosted a night in town. We started dinner at Smith & Wollensky a magnificent old steak house, beautiful historical building & fabulous food. Then we headed out back to the Venetian TAO, and took a ride through the Las Vegas Strip on a stretched hummer limo, sponsored by our friends from Vanatge Point: Don Burns & Mark Balodvski, that was quite a treat & a trip. Once headed to TAO.... well I think I lost all of our group....

Thanks to all of you who participated, I had a blast & I hope you all did as well. I look forward to HD EXPO 2010! So mark your calendars for an exciting night in Las Vegas again!
