Crate and Barrel recently introduced more initiatives to help make homes more eco-friendly.

Among their earth friendly changes C & B has:

  • Introduced more eco-friendly upholstery
  • Without more expense, offered two wood Outdoor collections that are certified as sustainable by nonprofit organizations that oversee the conservation and responsible management of millions of acres of the world’s natural forests
  • Offered several teak and mahogany collections available that are now Tropical Forrest Trust supported
  • Phased out the use of white bleached board for shipping boxes in favor of a more eco-friendly renewable fiber that contains post-consumer recyclable material
  • Discontinued using petroleum-based packing peanuts

Hopefully these changes will inspire other stores to follow suit. For more on Crate & Barrel’s earth friendly initiative and to purchase some green goodies for your home visit http://www.crateandbarrel.com/
