Green Building Products

Many building products on the market claim to be green materials, butdon't live up to their claims. Read carefully and don't be afraid to askquestions.

Try to choose products that contain recycled material.  They notonly reduce the strain on landfills but reduce the need to use extra rawmaterials.  Any way we can lessen our use of natural resources willbenefit all of us.

Another great choice is using rapidly renewable products such as cork andbamboo, or wood products made from fast growing trees such as alder.

Choosing products that are durable also fits in with our greeninterests.  These types of products stand the test of time and requireless money and materials for replacement or repair.

Happy Green Building!
