Casual Living,
The board of the Sustainable Furniture Council recently met and formed an educational committee with the purpose of bringing members and the industry as a whole along the sustainability path.


Chris Bruning of Groovystuff and Holly Barbo of Barbo Furniture are leading the committee, which will identify resources to inform the consumer and manufacturing sector; create a glossary of terms; provide resources for understanding issues; plan and carry out educational events, both at trade shows and in-store events for retailers; publish an e-weekly newsletter and provide content for press releases.

The committee is interested in participants who will lend their skills and enthusiasm to the organization.

On Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 1 p.m. CST, the organization will have a phone meeting to organize the tasks. For more information, contact Bruning at 214-956-0536 or Barbo at 360-734-1997.
