2. Try 100 percent hemp or bamboo curtains in your front room or bedroom.

3. The mango tree is the fastest growing and sustainable product other than bamboo, try to change out your lighting for more sustainable options.

4. Mahogany furniture is a great way to live more green. Try an end table from Palecek (800-274-7730)

5. Soy-based cushions for your furniture or even slip covers are a great way to live more green.

6. Recycled polyester is easy to clean, and a great addition to your other green furniture.

7. Canvas bags to take shopping at the local farmers’’ market or even the book store is a great green option.

8. Try to wrap your food or cover your left over’s with 100% recycled aluminum foil.

9. Try unbleached, undyed, organic cotton cloth tea towels to dry your own dishes off with or dry your hands on. You can even pick the same options up for cloth napkins as well.

10. Add cookbooks to your collection that includes recipes on using local and seasonal foods.
