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.

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.
