Woods • Looking for woods that are free from such environmentally and possibly health harmful glues and adhesives, air pollutants, chemicals, and volatile organic compounds can make for a more eco-friendly cabinet choice. • Woods such as bamboo, cane, eucalyptus, and certain fast-growing hardwoods might be better options to reduce environmental impact since they typically grow quicker than many other types of woods http://www.theshoppingmom.com/how-to-remodel-with-eco-friendly-cabinets/
