Get Green Go Eco

Earth Magazine featured interior designer Nicola Jones and her expert advice on how to create a home that cares for more than fashion and money. Environmentally friendly choices and the importance of resource reduction, taking control of your impact on the earth.
Title: Get Green and Go Eco
Date: April 2008
Publication: The Earth Supplement Magazine, Irish Independent Newspaper
Content: Changes you can make to the home that care for health, wellbeing and the environment
View: Environmentally friendly lifestyles
Extract: “Eco Interior Design: Being truly eco conscious it is not just buying eco products, especially in Ireland. Importing and shipping use a huge amount of non-renewable resources in transportation alone, that really is just the tip of the iceberg. Knowing where a product comes from helps you begin to evaluate its green potential. It’s difficult as some things just aren’t manufactured in Ireland yet. You can help reduce your ecological footprint by buying locally produced products and materials as much as possible. Even better is to reduce waste by limiting the amount you create and reusing old to refurbish as new for your home.”
“Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore benefit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.”
