Okay — Blogs are supposed to be interactive but no one responds.  Do we need to find something more interesting?  Here is a little tidbit.  On April 27th, all McDonald’s in MN will be giving away a seedling pine tree.  First come first serve.  It is the Minnesota Forestry’s way of helping to continue the growth of trees in our state.  Currently through their efforts, there are more trees growing in Minnesota than there were 50 years ago.  Keep up the good work!!!

One more “green” idea.  Are you aware that corn is also being used to make carpeting?  It is a renewable source and creates a very soft, great-wearing carpet.  We have samples of it at Hennen Furniture and it is worth a stop to see it.  Keep thinking green and if you have any more suggestions/ideas, please respond to this post.

I was watching Good Morning America this morning and they had an interesting segment on planet earth.  This segment will run for a week with new “green” ideas and products.  One this morning was the carpeting made by Mohawk from recycled plastic bottles.  It takes 30 bottles to make 1 sq. ft. of very soft carpet.  If you want to check this out stop in at Hennen’s - we can show you.  And that is just ONE idea.  There were several more.  So…keep recycling because it is being used!!!
