Get bamboo, not bamboozled, the next time you're on the market for new furniture. There are many eco friendly options out there but the best type of furniture for you remains the kind made from the quick-growing, air-purifying mighty bamboo plant. Unlike other comparable hardwoods, bamboo emits 35 percent more oxygen. That means less carbon dioxide in your home, more room for you to breathe. For those seeing flashes of ugly wicker-looking furniture in your future, don’t panic until you've checked out the fine bamboo pieces by Washington-based Greenington. From clean and simple dining sets to Zen-inspired end tables, each piece is made using maturated Moso bamboo that is 20 to 100 percent more durable than oak. Furniture that will not only make you feel better but actually last longer is definitely something to breathe easy about.

Eco-Friendly Office
(Story thanks to: Caymanmama.com - green News)
At work, are you the token eco-friendly co-worker? If not, you should be! Going green at the office will not only preserve the environment, it can help to save money and time in the end.
There are many simple ways to be a greener worker at the office. One option is to use recycled printer labels. These labels are a great option to go easy on the environment and are 100% recycled and whitened without chlorine bleach, which releases carcinogenic dioxins into waterways during production.
Another great idea is to sort the trash with recyclables. It’s amazing how much trash can actually be recycled! In fact, the recycled printer labels can be recycled again as well as the packaging they come in, too.
Junk mail is a drag, so when random charities send your company free address labels in an attempt to collect a donation, use them if possible or take then home to the kids to play with instead of throwing them away.
