why green?
More and more people are realizing that the world is using natural resources at an astonishing pace, and that many of them will never be replaced. Our old-growth forests are disappearing, dependence on foreign oil is raising concerns, chemical waste is destroying fragile habitats and declining air quality—both outside as well as inside—is responsible for a variety of ailments. Too prevalent to ignore, people of all ages and all walks of life are considering how better balanced, “green” decisions can make a difference. They’re changing how they think about resources and what they expect from 
the products they buy. More sustainable choices reflect renewed interest in actions that are better for our families and our planet.
They also reflect a more balanced approach to environmentally sensitive alternatives. Instead of having to settle for compromised style, or sort through complicated ecological details, people are discovering new options that balance natural and personal needs.
