We're all aware of the need to lessen our environmental impact. But do we practice what we preach? Do we help our clients make the right choice too? We specify so much paint, generally 75% or more of our clients need to repaint. So why not specify products that don't damage the earth or make homeowners sick?

Paint companies like Sherwin Williams and Mythic have great products that won't kill a sale or your client. Mythic paint introduced a revolutionary new non-toxic paint line that protects the environment and your health.  "Traditional household paints contain cancer-causing toxins that can still be released into the air years after drying." The paint contains zero VOC's, no harmful toxins, and no unpleasant odors. The paint is also washable and offers the same quality performance and durability. Plus we love the retro graphics.

Of course I don't even have a mythic color deck (yet), but I don't leave home without my Sherwin Williams samples. Their eco-friendly and people friendly lines feature the "Green Sure" symbol. Duration Home is my personal favorite because it is green, low VOC, contains mildewcide, and provides a rich coat of durable and washable paint.

I have also added a link to Mythic paint's website on my blog since it seems to be a tricky product to find online through searches.
