you down with VOC?

According to the EPA, indoor air is three times more polluted than outdoor air, thanks largely to paints and finishes containing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) which release low-level toxic emissions for years after application. VOC’s are bad for the Environment and bad for you. Standard, VOC-containing paints and finishes have been linked to respiratory problems, chemical sensitivities and allergies as well as headaches and eye irritation.

Try painting your walls with Zero VOC or Low VOC paints – you’ll be glad you did! Zero/Low VOC paint is odorless, releases no fumes, and comes in all the same colors as their chemical cousins. These paints are water-based, so they’re even easier to clean up. Higher demand for safer paint has also made the prices comparable to the toxic kind and is now easily available at most home-improvement and hardware stores.
