Pullout of modern edgy sustainable furniture \u003cbr/\u003e35. Wide pan of modern sustainable furniture in Cisco showroom \u003cbr/\u003eAs an increasing number of people choose to buy greener and ethically made products, eco friendly sustainable furniture is gaining in popularity in the United States.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to US furniture manufacturer, Buy Design, sustainable furniture purchasing growth has reached 30 per cent over the past year. \u003cbr/\u003eSustainable, eco friendly furniture made with non-toxic renewable material is becoming more mainstream in the US according to furniture manufacturer Buy Design. \u003cbr/\u003eToday's eco styles have come a long way - modern, progressive and edgy with many consumers even willing to pay extra for furniture with a green label.\u003cbr/\u003eSustainable furniture is defined as furniture made by non-toxic, renewable materials. \u003cbr/\u003eRichard Wegman is Chief Operating Officer of Global Green USA, the American affiliate of President Gorbachev's Green Cross International. Wegman has been  pioneering green building for affordable housing, schools and communities for more than a decade. \u003cbr/\u003eSo far, Green Cross and Global Green have influenced more than $20 billion dollars in green construction.\u003cbr/\u003e Wegman says that although it might not be convenient for consumers, they have to change their attitudes.\u003cbr/\u003eHe credits celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Leonardo Dicaprio and Morgan Freeman for helping raise awareness on green housing ideas. \u003cbr/\u003eIn August 2007 Brad Pitt visited his adopted city New Orleans to speak about the progress of his Global Green USA initiative.\u003cbr/\u003eGlobal Green teamed-up with Pitt to sponsor building eco-friendly homes in areas that were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.\u003cbr/\u003eOn 21 August 2007 Pitt participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the site.\u003cbr/\u003eMary Cordaro, a Los Angeles based veteran environment inspector, consultant, lecturer and president of H3Environmental helps thousands of clients, designers and architects with healthy eco furnishings, new home construction and green remodelling. \u003cbr/\u003eShe says sustainable home construction is vital but for many who can't start form scratch, what they put 'inside' the home is just as important. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the biggest and most respected lines of sustainable furniture in the US is Cisco Brothers Home Design - the first company in Los Angeles to create such a line. \u003cbr/\u003eThe furnishings have been given the Forest Stewardship Certified (FSC) seal - meaning the wood comes from renewable forests. \u003cbr/\u003eFSC is an international network to promote responsible management of the world's forests. \u003cbr/\u003eTaking a leading role with the first retail stores LA and making a mark in the industry is world-wide, multiple-award winning owner Cisco Pinedo whose factory sits in South Central Los Angeles. \u003cbr/\u003ePinedo says people are starting to care more about what goes into their home and whether it will have a negative effect. \u003cbr/\u003eAccording to Pinedo 99.9% of all furniture bought today is toxic petroleum based.  \u003cbr/\u003eHe urges consumers to ask stores for furniture made with products such as water based glues used for natural reclaimed wood; latex - a natural product from rubber trees instead of foam which is petroleum based; upholstery from bamboo, hemp and wool \u003cbr/\u003ePinedo admits Americans are still behind Europeans in green construction trends, but hopes that changing attitudes and the vast buying power of the US will start to make a real difference.\u003cbr/\u003eClients are reminded: \u003cbr/\u003e(i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and
