That is good info to know. It's sad when companies make false claims. In the case of environmentally friendly products, they're not just conning someone into buying a product; they're preventing that person from making a difference. And sometimes a consumer unknowingly purchases something they thought was healthy for their family when in fact it was not. As Scott said, we'll make sure we source from an environmentally conscious company. And thanks for your support! We are very excited to move! Thanks, Dee. That is good info to know.

We're using a friend in the flooring business to source our material from. He's looking into what he can find to ensure that the products we are receiving meet our standards.

Though I have read and those looking into bamboo should know that some bamboo companies are not selling the greenest of bamboo. As Consumer Reports Greener Choices website reports: “Environmentally friendly manufacturing” – Three of the companies, Jonäno, Mad Mod, and Pure Bamboo, were charged with falsely claiming their products are made using an environmentally friendly manufacturing process. In reality, toxic chemicals that release hazardous air pollutants are used in the manufacturing of rayon, according to the FTC. " Many companies offer wonderful bamboo products that are indeed eco-friendly. But it doesn't hurt to look into the brand you are interested in and be sure of what you are using! I am loving the progress of your home! Not too long until you move in! I cannot wait to someday use bamboo somewhere in my home!
