Home Decor Goes 'Green'

Why Organic And Eco-Friendly Items Are The Way To Go

(CBS) 
The following are the products featured on The Saturday Early Show:

Eucalyptus Table And Chairs
A renewable resource, eucalyptus is a strong, fast-growing wood that has a high resistance to decay, like teak. It grows much faster than teak, however. On display is a table and chair set by Greenfeet, which makes a whole line of outdoor products to match.
Table Price: $150
Chair Price: $100

Bamboo Tableware: Bowls
These are made by Bambu Home, which was the first company to offer a full range of bamboo tableware. It makes all of its products from bamboo because it's such a renewable, fast-growing material. The lacquered bowls are made with coiled strips of bamboo, topped by a natural, food-safe lacquer that comes in lots of bright colors.
Bowls Price: $15

Bottle Glass Tumblers
These tumblers are made from the bottom half of tossed-out bottles. They are big enough to hold an ample serving of beverage.

Recycled Denim Placemats
Those reliable, broken-in blue jean garments resurface as informal, durable, and easy-to-clean placemats. They are washed, scrubbed, and colorfully bordered in four different tones.

Vivaterra Organic Cotton Napkins And Twig Napkin Rings
Hard-to-find 100 percent organic cotton sets these napkins apart from their conventional counterparts. They skip all the harmful pesticides and insecticides that are used in growing conventional cotton. Did you know it takes about a third of a pound of chemicals to grow enough cotton for one T-shirt? This is a much better alternative.

Napkin Price: Set of 4 for $30.
Twig Napkin rings Price: 4 for $24
