My wife and kids will tell you how fanatical I am about recycling at home and minimizing our impact on the environment. We compost our kitchen waste, we recycle paper, cardboard, plastic and styrofoam, we buy organically grown local produce as much as possible, we use compact fluorescent bulbs and, generally speaking, attempt to be good citizens of the earth. I ride my bike to work as often as possible and enforce the same recycling and conservation efforts at the office as I do at home. Yet, it’s not enough.
I own a business that uses trees and other natural resources. We drive to appointments, fly to conferences, burn diesel fuel in delivery trucks and sell items that put a strain on the earth and its finite resources. From the wood used to manufacture furniture, to the petrochemicals used to manufacture fabrics, to the volatile organic compounds that are released during the finishing process, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MANUFACTURE FURNITURE WITHOUT IMPACTING THE ENVIRONMENT. DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU ANYTHING DIFFERENT.
This is how we attempt to help the earth and future generations:
- We only sell furniture made from woods that are renewable resources and farmed in an environmentally responsible manner.
- We offer furniture finished in a natural bath of tung oil and linseed oil, dramatically reducing the volatile organic compounds typically released during the application of lacquer or varnish.
- We offer furniture finished, assembled or manufactured in America, where stricter environmental standards and higher wages prevail.
- WE PURCHASE CARBON OFFSETS THAT FUND PROJECTS TO INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCY, DEVELOP RENEWABLE ENERGY, RESTORE FORESTS AND SEQUESTER CARBON IN SOIL in an attempt to reduce our environmental impact to the equivalent of zero emissions
I would be happy to exchange ideas with you and learn how our customers view efforts to help the environment. Please feel free to e-mail me at keith@furnitureconcepts.com, call 800-969-4100 (ext. 104), or use our contact form to send us a message. I look forward to hearing from you.
