Treat shopping for furniture just like you treat shopping for food - your goal is to find locally made, organic and natural products that are safe for your family and sustainable made. Locally or regionally produced furniture has a shorter distance to travel reducing carbon emissions from shipping. Avoid foreign products as much as possible and look for furnishings made in the US. Better yet, look for gently used, vintage or antique furniture to avoid buying new. Focus on furnishing made with organic and sustainable textiles. And the rest of the furniture should be made from reclaimed, recycled, renewable and non-toxic materials.
