Today we're going to talk about environmentally-friendly interior design.
It's a topic that has been in the news and in our world for several years now
and there's a lot of debate on both sides of it- both positive and negative.
My own personal feeling is that it started out as a great idea.
It became a marketing tool
and it was not what it was intended to be.
And the additional part of that is is that when some of these environmentally
correct materials are used in projects
the effect negatively that it has on the environment is far more damaging than
the savings that is acheived by using environmentally correct materials.
the savings that is acheived by using environmentally correct materials.
In addition to that the cost is much more than anyone is really aware.
We often think of the
people who are more conscious about the environment-
the recyclers, the people who are much more aware of
air pollution and those kinds of things are the ones who would be more prone to
want to do an environmentally correct interior design project.
However the cost of that is also
very prohibitive for many of them.
So while it seems nice there are certain things that are good about it. And when I
can I use those materials.
We use a lot of recycled glass for tiles,
bamboo for wood floors
some mahogany coming from Honduras that is not an endangered species
whenever possible but we are not able to do one hundred-percent
as everyone hope we could environmentally correct
interior design project.
Stand by- it might get better. But we don't know.
