Is the lowest VOC and healthiest really the most ecofriendly?
Is it not the most durable of the bunch the most eco-friendly?
Let me explain:
The most eco-friendly paint job is... no paint job.
Not very good for business, I know, but true.
So, is the most durable paint job the one?
We don't just paint do we?
We drive to the store to buy paint, sundries, no good.
Some has to be delivered across the country or continent, no good.
A lot of spackle, compounds, caulk etc is used every time, no good.
Plastic, lots of plastic is used, no good.
Tools have to be used and washed, no good.
Paint cans have to be disposed or recycled, no good.
Crew vans and trucks have to be driving around, no good.
So amongst a bunch of eco ok paints,
isn't the one that lasts the longest and is always available close by,
the most eco-friendly?
Food for thought.
