FURNITURE

What's the most eco-friendly way to furnish your house? Buy second-hand.

There is plenty of good quality second-hand furniture out there that has already stood the test of time. Happily, finding it is now much easier thanks to Ebay and other web resources. Ebay is one of the great ecological success stories of the new century, keeping considerable resources in use which would otherwise have been stashed away or thrown away and thereby saving all the extraction, energy and waste impacts of new products.
