apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

For the renovator, the EHC carries building materials like Europly and MDF, home energy systems including energy-efficient insulation, Fair Trade Federation bath fixtures, natural carpets and cork tiles, cabinets & countertops, non-toxic paints, finishes and wall coverings. There's even a referral service for green builders, contractors, and architects. If your green home makeover is a little more modest, say, limited to purifying your environment as much as possible, you will still find plenty of ways to part with that other kind of green: there are people-friendly cleaning supplies, bath accessories, water and air filters, composting supplies, FSC-certified garden furniture and a selection of bamboo and copper housewares.
