When it comes to going green you might want to start with the paint on your walls.

Ever see the letters VOC on a gallon of paint? They stand for volatile organic compounds.  Exposure to VOC's can trigger asthma attacks, eye irritation and nausea. Because of the health risks more and more paint is being made without them. 

Environmentally friendly paints can be found at any of your local hardware stores.
