Sustainable Outdoor & Landscaping Products Help You Celebrate Earth Day Every Day!

Happy Earth Day! Earth Day started back in 1970 when U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson from our neighbor state, Wisconsin, organized a teach-in across America’s schools. All over the United States elementary students (okay, I’m dating myself) picked up litter and learned about recycling, saving water and other good practices.

Now, there are so many great eco-friendly and sustainable products for your outdoor living spaces. Permeable interlocking pavers allow rainwater to seep back into the ground naturally. This solution is great for any home or business project such as a patio, walkway, driveway or parking lot where you need to control stormwater run-off in an environmentally friendly way.

Plantable retaining wall systems allow you to plant flowers, herbs and shrubs within the wall block, and vegetative wall systems create a supporting wall of greenery. Outdoor furniture made of recycled material is popular. 

You might have seen some Comfort Craft furniture sitting outside our stores, enduring the rain, ice and snow. Maintenance-free Comfort Craft furniture is made from 100 percent recycled High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and makes good reuse of discarded consumer and industrial plastic.

All-season Comfort Craft has the look and feel of real wood and will look good for decades. The material has no fillers such as wood fibers that absorb moisture. UV inhibitors prevent fading. 

With rust-proof stainless steel hardware, Comfort Craft withstands all weather conditions and never needs storage. Comfort Craft won’t chip, crack or splinter and never needs painting or staining. It cleans up easily with regular soap and water. And it’s made in the U.S.A.

Comfort Craft is a great choice for anyone who doesn’t want hard cleaning, refinishing or the packing and storing required of other types of outdoor furniture. Put it out and enjoy it. It’s that simple.
