The Bali Road Map is going to change the future of our climate and change the way people look at our business. Clearly the United States is finally going to be on board with the rest of the world on climate change and it will trickle all the way down to the furniture industry in a big way.
Ten years ago when we began this business, we used recycled teak wood to build furniture simply because it looked cool and was a good story. Now today the world is realizing that keeping your carbon footprint to a minimum is good for everyone.
In 2008 look for us to incorporate more designs with reclaimed teak and even other mediums.
Whether you are a retailer, a designer or an end user, the time is now to hop on the eco-friendly train. This is not "greenwashing". This is real, and now the tipping point has finally arrived. Welcome to our journey.
Here is a photo of one of my recent trips to Bali. Sometimes I inline skate to be very eco-friendly in small villages as I look for interesting finds.
