I love hardwood, I have to say. I’ve given up carpeting since moving out of the suburbs and I’m never going back (to either suburbs or carpeting). Well, the question of what kind of an environmental impact our hardwood has is addressed at treehugger today.

I personally advocate Smith & Fong’s Plyboo as a great way to have bamboo and eat it too (I actually do eat bamboo shoots). They are low VOC and (correct me if I’m wrong) they are harvested in an environmentally sound and socially responsible manner.
