2．Green is not always referring to the color．In some cases，it is the term used for being environmentally friendly．If you've been looking to replace your furniture，consider going green because environmentally friendly furniture offers many benefits．Here are a few tips to get you started on your hunt for the perfect eco-friendly furniture．
First，environmentally friendly furniture isn't harmful to your health．Also its manufacturing process doesn't cause damage to the environment in any way．Besides，by purchasing eco-friendly products，you prevent deforestation and global warming to some extent in your own way．You do your part in protecting the environment．Environmentally friendly furniture is cost-effective as well．
The materials that are used in furniture are what make them green．Materials can be good for the environment either because they are materials that are considered renewable resources or they are all natural．A lack of chemicals and toxins（毒素） in green furniture also means it is a better choice for the environment．It may be hard to imagine that a sofa or a table could actually be a green product but they really can be depending on what they're made of．
There are a lot of renewable sources that manufacturers could use when building the furniture，so you should be keeping an eye out for them．Bamboo can be an excellent replacement for wood and can also replace plastics and metals in some furnishing．Cotton is a soft fabric that is safe for the environment and it can be replenished（补充） often．Hemp is also a renewable source that can be used for fabric and twine．
Recycled materials also can be made into green furniture．Metals can be recovered and remade into new things such as frames and foundations for sofas．Recycled plastic can also be made into furniture such as tables and chairs．Touching up old furniture instead of buying new items is a very cheap way to be green．Yard sales and second-hand stores sell furniture too and buying the used means new things won't be made，so no more damage has to happen to the earth．
Therefore，when you want to hunt for the perfect environmentally friendly furniture，you should try to know the type of materials which are used in building the furniture．
