Mercy Mercy Me (the Ecology)
Living and working in Motown, you’ve got to love you some Marvin Gaye, and that is one of my favorites of his. It also got me thinking again (that and the cost of gas which is finally going down, the cost of heating my home, etc etc) about our planet and how we care for this great big round home we call Earth. We have heard of Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth. We have talked about making our country energy independent. We recycle; we reuse; we reduce –so what does an area rug site like Rugs to My Door have to offer to help the environment.
Well to start off with, we use energy efficient light bulbs (compact fluorescent) in all our offices. We recycle all our office paper. We are keeping the temperature in our offices a bit cooler in the winter and a bit warmer in the summer. We turn off lights in rooms we aren’t using. All simple and easy every day things we can do to help reduce reuse and recycle to help do our small part.
The last thing we do is offer you Eco-Friendly area rugs. We have a whole section of area rugs that are Eco-Friendly. They are rugs that are either made from renewable resources or are made from earth friendly products. Less dependency on foreign oil to make our rugs.
First, we offer are area rugs that are made from wool. Wool is probably the most eco-friendly fiber available. It’s 100% renewable, completely biodegradable, and lasts for years. What does that mean to you? Well we won’t run out of it, it won’t clog our landfills, and you can count on your rug lasting for years and not needing to buy a new one too quickly.
We have 1000’s of wool area rugs available for you to look at. You may spend a bit more up-front buying a wool area rug, but you will get years more enjoyment and know that you’re doing your part to help the environment buy making the investment.
If you really want the best wool rugs, look for rugs made from New Zealand Wool. Wool from New Zealand is considered some of the finest wool in the world. It is naturally strong and amazingly white which means to you that your rug will last longer and the colors will be sharper and cleaner. Not only is the wool amazing, but to be certified as 100% New Zealand wool, the sheep have to be raised in an environmentally responsible manner.
Next, look to sisal and other natural fibers to help our environment. These fibers are naturally occurring, can be farmed, harvested and are 100% renewable. Sisal makes wonderful long lasting area rugs and when you’re done with the rug it is 100% biodegradable. We are continually looking for and adding sisal and other grass fiber rugs to our collection to help you find and buy eco-friendly area rugs.
My next post about eco-friendly area rugs will be about cradle-to-cradle recycling of synthetic fibers – making nylon as environmentally friendly as wool and sisal.
