Another sure-fire way to consider the Earth with your furniture choices is by looking for opportunities to 
recycle. Does a friend have a gently-used sofa that doesn't fit his or her space but would look perfect in yours? Have you looked to Craig's List or used furniture stores as an alternative to purchasing all new items? Baby and children's furniture, for example, can provide a perfect opportunity for recycling, since much of it still has plenty of useable life left long after a child has outgrown it.
And then there's "upcycling," a sustainability method in which waste materials are used to produce new products. One such trend is the incorporation of former seat belt straps into the production of new furniture pieces. In fact, many environmentally conscious furniture designers are today basing their businesses exclusively around fashioning new products from reclaimed consumer furniture materials.
