Recently, we have seen the installation of new “bamboo” wooden floors. They are not only beautiful, but they are derived from a sustainable resource.

According to reports from the recent Furniture Market in High Point, N.C., several manufacturers were marketing trendy “green” decor — “furniture made from materials that are organic, sustainable or recycled. Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Co. even unveiled a reforestation program under which it will donate a seedling for every tree it uses each year.”
