Whether you are in need of a whole house of furniture or just a couple replacement pieces you have lots of sustainable options.  If you have a specific store you like shopping at don’t hesitate to ask them about how the furniture is made, where the materials come from and what to do when you will get rid of the furniture.  The more you ask the more widely available sustainable products will be to you and others.  You would be surprised at what you might find and the amount of information they will have for you.  Here are a few places that carry furniture made with sustainable practices and materials!
