Ecos Paint

They manufacture their zero VOC non toxic paints in South Carolina, USA and you can order them here.

SLEEP
When SOL organics was looking for a factory to produce their eco friendly bedding they had certain non-negotiable requirements that included third party certifications by FLO, GOTS, Oeko Tex and Fair Trade. That means their factory partners make a living wage, and do not employ children for labor. (Sounds obvious but it is not.) Sol organics bedding is made from 100% organic long-staple cotton, grown from non-GMO cottonseeds. You can buy both their sustainable bedding as well as their pillows and comforters here.
Buffy is on a mission to help you live comfortably, without making our planet uncomfortable. They use earth-friendly materials for their planet friendly bedding. Their signature bedding is made from e eucalyptus fiber that uses 76% less water than cotton, and no toxic pesticides. Their linen is made from camp not flax-not only does hemp absorb 5x more CO2 from the air than trees, but it’s naturally resistant to pests promotes biodiversity, and even improves soil over time—unlike flax linen, which depletes it. The extra-long staple fibers (which range between 4-7 feet in length), makes it naturally stronger and more durable than other fabrics! Buffy also offsets all their CO2 emissions.
