Happy Earth Day.

With the constant push for going green, and reduce, reuse, recycle, the design industry has taken a big turn in that direction. One of the easiest things to see and for you to enjoy is organic fabrics. Organic cotton is a huge market. This cotton is defined as being grown with as zero earth impact as possible without use of chemicals, and by only using non genetically modified plants. Today, help celebrate Earth Day and take advantage of the free shipping and sales on organic bedding and towels from Pottery Barn.

No said organic fabrics had to be boring! Take a look at this Woodland Organic bedding from Pottery Barn. Buy purchasing organic, not just fabrics, you can help to reduce the use of harmful chemicals leached into our earth. Another great design tip that helps with the three R's is buy thrift, vintage and antique. By reusing something already created you can reduce the amount of energy required in making new items. Take something old and add a new twist with paint. Sherwin Williams offers an amazing selection of paint colors with low VOC's, volatile organic compounds, that are vaporous gases harmful to the earth. This is not only going green, but allows you to personalize and tailor items to your own taste and style. So get out today and celebrate Earth Day. Clean up some trash, plant a tree, promote going green through design, or just be outside and enjoy everything the earth has to give us.
