Since Al Gore presented his award-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, many people seem to have gotten a jolt regarding environmental awareness. The result: An influx in environment-friendly products—green chairs, green cars, green shoes. Products made from naturally-derived biodegradable materials leave little to no carbon footprint. The recycling revolution that started in the 1970s seems to have come back in full force. This is one fad we wish would never fade.
How will investing in eco-friendly furniture help save the environment? By checking that the bed frame you just bought was made with FSC-certified raw materials, you can be assured that you are not contributing to the abusive depletion of natural resources. By getting other people to do the same, you can help eliminate the menace of deforestation forever. The Forest Stewardship Council is an organization bent on restoring and protecting our remaining forests. Green chairs made from FSC-certified maple bear no mark of environmental abuse.
Similarly, furniture made with bamboo or natural latex is also earth-conscious. Fast-replenishing bamboo makes for a sturdy alternative for hardwood. And since natural latex is derived from the sap of rubber trees, it cannot contaminate the surroundings with harmful chemical byproducts.
There are currently around 6,796,300,000 people walking the earth. If just a fraction of our population would take up a greener lifestyle, we can save the environment from falling fast into its destructive demise. If all of us start using green chairs and other environment-friendly products, we can guide the earth back towards environmental restoration.
