Eco Friendly Home Decor Ideas

 

Are you tired of your decor? Maybe your furniture isn’t contemporary enough for your taste. Or perhaps your once-trendy, heavily-patterned curtains feel stale. But you lean toward the sustainable side of things—you’re a stand-up human, too—so you won’t chuck your old decor for new stuff without a bit of eco-guilt. You’d like to find eco friendly home decor ideas, even, but you don’t know where to look.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 9 million tons of furniture end up in landfills every year. Poorer quality furniture is more likely to get tossed.

Furniture is an awful lot like fashion. The sustainable stuff—the stuff you want to keep for decades—is expensive. The cheap stuff is trendy. It doesn’t stand the test of time, either, due to poor materials and shoddy craftsmanship.

What’s an environmentally-conscious home dweller to do? On this week’s show I’m offering 5 cheap eco friendly home decorating ideas to refresh your space in ways that are affordable, stylish, and sustainable (without relying on Ikea or Wayfair).

Enjoy!

Plastic, Plastic Everywhere

The plastic-drenched, disposable world we live in didn’t happen by accident. It was slowly, methodically built by Big Oil.

They’re doing everything in their power to get people to use as much plastic as possible, all so they can make money from every single molecule they extract from the ground. And right now, they’re pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, or even triple, plastic production by 2050.

This week, award-winning environmental journalist Beth Gardiner joins us to pull back the curtain on who’s behind all this plastic and why. We explore why production is skyrocketing despite consumer pushback, how the myth of recycling keeps us distracted, and why naming the real culprits is the first step toward true systemic change.
