People and the Planet:

Environmental devastation can lead to war...and worse. Global warming helped bring on the drought in Darfur, which caused farmers and herders to fight for limited land resources. Battle lines were drawn along ethnic lines, leading to today's genocide crisis. By reducing our carbon dioxide output, we can slow global warming. If you drive a hybrid, you can save 16,000 lbs. of CO2 and $3,750 per year.

Why It's Good:

Because it's a composite wood material, it won't splinter, warp or fade like natural wood. There are six different plank sizes, and more colors and styles to choose from than other composite decking companies; colors remain consistent from batch to batch. The deck will remain a comfortable temperature even in direct sunlight. They have a useful interactive design tool on their website to help you customize your deck.

Why It's Green:

TimberTech is made with recycled wood waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. Water is recycled during the manufacturing process, as is product dust and scraps. It requires no staining or sealing, further minimizing its impact on the environment.

Where To Get It:
