However, a Green home costs far less over the life
of the home.• Low Maintenance
• Low Impact• Low Energy• High Resale

Choosing green floors not only helps the environment, but it can be healthier for your family as well.
Also, they don't use toxic chemicals like some traditional flooring choices do. The options that follow are considered eco-friendly because they are made from recycled or easily replenished materials.
![Page 30: Plus 5 Green Presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/554e0d47b4c90513298b51d4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Using reclaimed or recycled soft or hardwoods has a low impact on the environment, since you're using a material that was already harvested long ago, instead of depleting current forests.
•Reclaimed woods can be salvaged
from old properties.
![Page 31: Plus 5 Green Presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/554e0d47b4c90513298b51d4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Bamboo looks and feels a lot like hardwood, but since bamboo is a grass and not a tree, it's easily replenished.
• The bamboo used in flooring is harvested from managed plantations and grows back in about four years.
![Page 32: Plus 5 Green Presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/554e0d47b4c90513298b51d4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Cork is manufactured from the bark of living trees (without hurting the tree itself), so it's an ideal sustainable material.
• In fact, the harvesting of cork bark actually stimulates the growth of the tree.

• Today, old beer and wine bottles are being recycled and transformed into glass floor tiles.
• The cracking and bubbling that is a result of the recycling process adds visual interest to the floor.
• You can get rubber carpet padding and rubber flooring that is made from shredded tires.
• Every 100 square feet of flooring keeps 7.5 tires from going into land fills.
