The Case for Compact Fluorescent Lights:

If every American home replaced one bulb with an Energy Star CFL, the greenhouse gas emissions of 800,000 cars would be prevented from going into the atmosphere. You'd save about $30 on energy costs over the life of each bulb.

Eli Sofa

Why It's Good:

This sofa will instantly turn you into a couch potato, it's so cozy and inviting. Frames are reinforced using recycled steel coils — a nice touch, especially if your kids tend to use the couch as a trampoline.

Why It's Green:

The wood frame is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certifed, which means that the wood used has been sustainably forested; the fabric is 100% good old cotton; the back cushions are down-filled rather than foam-filled (which can be toxic), and the seat cushions are natural rubber latex.

Plus, Greener Lifestyle's eco-friendly polyester fabric is made from recycled soda bottles, which helps to keep plastic out of landfills and cut down on air, water and soil contamination.
