Green Expectations... here to stay?
September 17, 2007

Many industries, especially in design, have quickly adopted the environmental cause and taken on the challenge of creating new eco-friendly alternatives. We can now buy Zero-VOC house paints, energy-saving appliances, eco-chic furniture made from reclaimed and recycled materials and everything in between. Clients are expressing their desire for eco-friendly goods at an unprecedented rate. With new construction occurring in tandem with the new baby boom, parents are more conscientious of the environment they are providing for their children.

All in all, there has been a long-awaited awakening to the needs of the planet as well as to our personal well-being. It is easy to make these changes in one’s own life, especially as we become more educated and have more choices in green products, which is why I am developing my own line of environmentally-conscious products. When people are given the opportunity to make a difference, they will positively modify their purchasing and consumer habits. This transformation will continue as more people realize the link that exists between their personal health and their personal environment. --Doug Wilson
