Technically green carpet is almost an unfair play on words. Carpet, by nature, is not so green. Having worked with people who install it, tear it out, and live with it, I know that carpet tends to be a pretty icky floor choice. There are things that you drag into your home, things that live in your carpet, that no one and no high powered vacuum can get rid of.
Wooden, earthen, stone, and other harder floor coverings are better green choices when it comes to health and how green you can clean it. Still, some people really want carpet. Carpet is a comfort issue for some people, and others just like how it looks. I figured I’d discuss one better carpet choice; because if you want it, you may as well keep it as green as possible.
Nature’s Carpet takes the hard out of choosing a level of green carpet for your home. Because “Green” is so variable, Nature’s Carpet divides their carpet products into three categories:
- Dark Green
- Medium Green
- Light Green
This allows consumers to easily see what’s offered in the different levels of green carpeting, plus see how prices compare.
There are some beautiful options offered in the Dark Green category (that would be the greenest carpet they offer)…
Elymus – Flint: 100% New Zealand Wool, cut pile, Jute backing, and Natural Rubber
Limestone: 100% Wool, cut & loop, meets cri green label requirements
Urban Ridge: 100% Wool, multi level loop
