Green Tips for Interior Designers
November 25, 2009 Written By: Ken This is an article I found on Treehugger. Emphasis is mine. This is part of our idea at Naked Binder that those who preach Green need to practice Green. We are constantly working to eliminate waste and find new ways to reuse, cut down or repurpose waste. And all of our binders are Naked Binders. Go figure! Here it is: Turning really green I really think I’m turning really green I really think so. You too? If you’re an interior designer who’s been thinking about gettin’ over to the green side, or even if you’re just a regular mortal planning to convert an existing office space or home into an eco-friendly environment, then you’ve got to pick up a copy of “Turning Green: A Guide to Becoming a Green Design Firm.” It’s written by members of a Denver-based interior design firm in conjunction with.. ..the American Society of Interior Designers. In other words, they know what they’re talking about when it comes to going green but not compromising style. The pamphlet offers product recommendations and guidelines as well as a step-by-step process to turn your space into an eco-friendly environment. Here’s a sneak peak at what you'll find: I. Before you start, establish environmental principles and develop a plan of action. If you make a list of things that you want to accomplish through your efforts, you can also determine how you need to change your current habits and practices to achieve those goals. II. Start in your own backyard. Inventory your home or office products and processes and determine where changes can be made. Areas to consider: cleaning supplies, office supplies and recycling. III. Begin exploring alternative product options and green vendors. (Hey, that's what TreeHugger's here for!) Don’t forget to consider antiques and collectibles. IV. Get others involved and share your solutions with peers and colleagues outside of the office. Create an archive of green solutions that can be used intra- and inter-office. The guide also includes a ton of useful web sites, and on top of all that, you can download it for free. This is one case where the grass really is greener on the other side.
