Why Choose Eco-friendly Furniture?

Posted by HaikuDesigns on August 7th, 2015

To answer this question properly and fully it is important to consider that the term eco-friendly is a modern compound word with ageless meaning. Primarily, it means to live in harmony with Nature like human-beings have done for thousands of years, until the Industrial Revolution turned the world upside down.

Historically, things like chemical fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides didn’t even exist until the 20^th century, so farmers and gardeners used natural things, such as manure to fertilize the ground and the rotation of crops to control insects. When it came to weeds, they simply used a hoe or their bare hands to remove them. Organic farmers today use convenient methods to mechanically remove weeds, instead of using toxic herbicides, so modern technology can be applied while still protecting the environment as much as possible. Until recently, humans were more in tune with Nature, animals and the four seasons, and the price that modern civilization has paid for its present disharmony with natural forces is very high and disappointing in many ways.

So, what does all this mean for contemporary consumers in today’s market? It means that we still have a choice in the kind of values we want to live by and the kind of business practices we’re willing to support with our money and our time. It means that we don’t just have the power to vote in elections; it means that we have influence in the world of commerce. Fortunately, a lot of new and old companies are going Green in various ways, and we all have the option of supporting these pioneering companies https://www.haikudesigns.com.

Many governments in Europe are also becoming more ecological in their policies, and the European Union in Brussels applies the strictest rating system for furniture products in the world. Their evaluation process rates furniture according to the amount of chemicals used in manufacturing, the degree of toxic off-gassing and the source of raw materials used in the construction of furniture https://www.haikudesigns.com/e1-info.htm.

The obvious conclusion here is that getting back to Nature protects the environment for future generations, it protects the health of the general public, and it can also be economically feasible, as long as we use our imagination and the common-sense that Nature gave us.
