Design Green Alliance is a creative co-op of furniture manufacturers.

Okay, so it’s obvious right? Green everything is seriously growing.  Seems like everyone I know is somehow incorporating sustainable practices into their personal and professional lives.

I happened to see a great post recently at Furniture World Online. An alliance of green manufactures just launched Design Green Alliance — An membership based organization of companies in the home furnishings industry, working together to advance the cause of sustainability.

What does that mean exactly?

I’ll let Tim Loveday, founder of the organization speak first:

“The Design Green Alliance serves as a united front for sustainable manufacturers looking to increase their presence in the marketplace. The message of sustainability and environmental stewardship has never been more important, and by working together, we can make a difference in the furniture industry and in the world.

So, you know those ginormous trade shows (not open to the public) where your retails store owners go and purchase lots of goodies for you?…and yes we want them to be earth friendly….

Well, now with organizations like DGA, green/sustainable companies will continue to have their own section of the show, with a much higher visual presence. DGA, for example, purchases larger amounts of space for its members, therefore increasing its visibility and right now, membership is free. For more details click here.

There is something to be said about being part of group with a common cause. That can be a significantly louder voice than going at it alone. May this eco-voice continue to get louder…
