An easy method for shopping sustainably is to consider secondhand furniture. Buying gently used furniture recycles it and keeps it from making its way into landfills.

Companies also offer fabric pieces, such as curtains, pillows, and cushions, made from all organic and natural fibers. Another earth-friendly decision is to shop locally.
