Green furnishings are

The familiar home furnishings that we already have in our homes, but made differently, without obnoxious, possibly dangerous odours and off-gassing?
We become so accustomed to the odours and off-gassing that we don’t even recognize them anymore.
We can still live with comfortable surroundings, we just need to adjust our thinking.

Some questions to ask before you buy;-
Is it local? What is it made of?
Where was it manufactured or constructed?
Do the glues, fabrics, paint, stains, binders, fillers, contain harmful chemicals?
Are there any chemicals added to it – for durability, stain resistance, fire retardant, shape?
How was it processed? How is it cleaned?
Is there a more enviro-friendly, or natural alternative?
