“Green means Go!” I’m sure my third grade elementary school teacher never suspected that those words would become a hype. Today going green is not only hip, but extremely essential to our efforts to save Money and Mother Earth. You can’t ignore it anymore either, because you are confronted with the need to help save the earth every week, when you fill up the car with gas and every month, when your energy bill arrives in the mail. And although I’m an avid ‘safe the earth’-person myself, I am now starting to see green.
Too much of a good thing
When I browse the internet and magazines in search of green products on the market I often find that the Going Green hype is being used by marketers in diverging ways that sometimes cause confusion. I just picked up a recent copy of one of my favorite architectural magazines and the first 20 pages were all about ‘going green’. Energy efficiency, environmentally save production processes, products, buildings, carpets, tiles, showers, chairs, fabrics… you name it! 95% of adds throughout the magazine (and let’s face it: magz are mostly adds, anyway) contained some form of green claim.
Know what it’s about
The result is that we now we need a way to figure out which kind of ‘green’ we’re talking about, so we can easily find what we’re looking for. For instance, Light Green would mean the product is manufactured in a way that is less damaging to the environment than before or as compared to other similar products. Medium Green would refer to products that are made from recycled materials, and Dark Green would refer to everything that refers to the use of alternative resources in our surroundings.
Save
The majority of our suppliers here at Solaris Design Center have always offered energy efficiency and other green aspects to their products, but the green hype is just now taking real flight in Curacao. We offer a great selection of quality ‘light, medium and dark green’ interior accessories including window and floor treatments as well as lamp fixtures and furniture. We are proud suppliers of products that fit the whole green spectrum of colors. So I guess we are seeing green, but we can help you find the right hue for you.
