Natura by Benjamin Moore: Zero VOC's in both the base and colorants, this paint has a super fast dry time (you can add another coat after an hour) and the paint can be tinted to match any color. For more info: benjaminmoore.com
Yolo Colorhouse Paint: A premium, zero VOC interior and exterior paint line with select palettes, including a kids collection with 7 fresh, playful, gender-neutral colors. More info: yolocolorhouse.com
Mythic Paint: Zero VOC and non-toxic paint with over 2,000 designer colors that also has a proprietary tinting system that is also zero VOC, so you don't add any VOC's when you chose a color, even a saturated one. More info: mythicpaint.com
Vintage or Pre-Owned on eBay: The greenest product is often one that already exists. Shop for vintage or pre-owned products on eBay to steer clear of newly off-gassing materials and keep beautiful pieces from ending up in the landfill. More info: green.ebay.com
Recycled Aluminum Side Table: The table I have is from Pottery Barn, and is no longer available, but I found another gorgeous table hand cast of recycled aluminum at Neiman Marcus. A bit more expensive ($909) but stunning. More info: neimanmarcus.com
Recycled Glass Tile from Oceanside: Silica sand is an abundant natural resource to begin with, but it's even better if you can find glass tiles made from a high percentage of recycled content, like the ones offered from Oceanside Glass Tile. More info: glasstile.com
Rocky Mountain Hardware: From door hardware to cabinet pulls, Rocky Mountain Hardware products are hand cast in recycled bronze with a minium of 90% recycled content. More info: rockymountainhardware.com
Real Cork Floors: Hands down one of the best eco-friendly materials to use in your home. Cork is comfortable underfoot, absorbs sound, is highly sustainable, and supports entire communities in Portugal. Available in everything from tiles to planks. More info: realcork.org
Energy Efficient Appliances: Energy efficient appliances are a must, but it doesn't all have to be about tech and specs. I'm loving my new Electrolux washer and dryer in this hot turquoise color. more info: electroluxappliances.com
Dual Flush Toilets: The latest models available add both style and water conservation to your bathroom. more info: caromausa.com
Foot Pedal: Puts water control in the palm of your pedi. Each pedal is under $200 and very easy to install - just think of all the water you'll conserve and the money you'll save! More info: pedalvalve.com
