Let’s Paint the Town Green

One great way to go green in your office is to consider environmentally-friendly options when you’re painting the walls. I know how dangerous paint fumes can be too, so not only are green options better for mother nature, but they are also safer for the environment.

I wanted to feature this one company I found after a little research because I love the concept. They’re bring back milk paints, old fashioned style paints that are 100% free of volatile organic compounds, hazardous air pollutants, lead, mercury, petroleum by-products, plastics, synthetic preservatives, radioactive materials, or any other harmful poisons of any kind. According to the Milk Paint website,

Our organic paint is safe not only for people, but also for the environment. The ingredients in the base paint are used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, and are all completely biodegradable.

You can read more about it or order milk paint here.

This isn’t the only safe paint option, however! You can also find green paint (in every color!) at the following websites:
