Eco-friendly versions of virtually all household products and furnishings exist. Choose a room in your home and identify one piece of furniture and any other item. Then go online and find three different eco-friendly items that could replace them. Provide images of the products and write two to three sentences describing each item, explaining what makes it eco-friendly. When you have examined three eco-friendly examples for each item, write a paragraph explaining which items you would choose for your home and why the product that you chose is superior to the others available.
