Living Room

Air Quality Conservation
  • Socialize while sipping out of glasses and tumblers made from recycled wine bottles.
  • Ordinary paraffin wax candles are derived from crude oil. Candles made from soy wax or pure beeswax are made from renewable resources, and tend to last much longer.
  • Keep your living spaces clean and dust free with reusable and hassle-free microfiber cleaning cloths-they reduce the need to use cleaning solutions and water!
Local
  • Furniture and housewares made from local artisans-such as our Green Depot Designer Exclusives-add a sense of place, reduce your carbon footprint, all while boosting the local economy.
Energy
  • Compact fluorescent lightbulbs use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. If every home in the U.S. replaced 5 incandescent bulbs with CFLs, it would prevent greenhouse gas emissions equal to that of 6 million cars.
  • A good power strip for entertainment systems will drastically reduce your passive electrical flow (that is, the energy used when electronics are plugged in but not on).
Responsibility
  • While selecting home décor, such as area rugs, consider how and where the product is made. Is the product manufactured in a safe and healthy work environment? Green Depot Area Rugs are RugMark certified - so you can rest assured no child labor was used in manufacturing.
