Choosing a wooden pool is not just a lifestyle or aesthetic choice — it’s a commitment to sustainability and ecological responsibility. In light of today's Earth Day celebrations, this choice resonates even more deeply. It reminds us of the urgent need to respect and nurture our planet, and opting for sustainable materials like wood is a step in the right direction. The very nature of wood, from its growth to its processing and eventual reuse, represents a cycle of life that supports our planet’s health and resources. As we seek ways to enjoy our leisure time, let us consider how our choices can also protect and preserve the environment for future generations. Wooden pools offer a path to just that — a swim towards a more sustainable world. Read more about environmental advantages of choosing wood on our blog 👇 https://lnkd.in/dxjeAjcS

*Chetwoods Materials Monday* This week, we are spotlighting Vestre, a Norwegian furniture manufacturer who are creating more sustainable urban solutions. Vestre is addressing sustainability through multiple aspects of their manufacturing process - from transport, to material selection, to the factory facility itself. Vestre prioritise lower embodied carbon materials, such as Nordic steel, which Vestre say has a 20% reduction in carbon emissions compared to steel from other countries. Additionally, Vestre use Hydro CIRCAL aluminium which guarantees a minimum of 75% recycled content; and exclusively use FSC and PEFC certified, locally grown timber. Vestre is also actively working towards zero-emission transport, and apparently, they have influenced their whole value chain to make swaps to fossil fuel-free transport options. Their factory, The Plus by BIG, is recognised as the ‘world’s most sustainable furniture factory’. Constructed from engineered timber, and nestled within a forest, the factory incorporates playful colours that serve as wayfinding tools. The surrounding area is kept completely open to the public, who are even encourage to walk onto the roof of the factory itself – a tribute to Norway’s traditional ‘right to roam’ ethos. To find out more about Vestre’s products, processes, and facilities, visit their website: https://lnkd.in/e9uXbYfe Welcome to #chetwoodsmaterialsmonday where we share the newest more sustainable materials, and discuss news and current events related to sustainable and regenerative material selection. #sustainableconstruction #sustainablearchitecture #embodiedcarbon #sustainablefurniture #theplus #climatecrisis #globalwarming #climateaction

Happy Earth Day! 🌱 Did you know that GRAM is the world's first LEED® Gold certified art museum?USGBC Central Coast Green Building Council Here are 5 ways we keep our operations environmentally friendly. 🌧️ Rainwater is collected from our roof to water our plants and flush our toilets, saving nearly 250,000 gallons of city treated water per year. ♻️ 75% of our waste is diverted from landfills by sorting recyclable and compostable materials (approximately 20 yards per month). 🧱 GRAM was constructed from recycled materials. The drywall was made from 98% recycled Synthetic Gypsum, while the carpet was made from recycled pop bottles. ☀️ 70% of the museum uses natural light, featuring UV-treated glass windows that result in energy savings all year long. 🌳 GRAM's white roof helps reduce the amount of heat absorbed by the building, plus our 8,100 square feet of courtyard and garden space lower the "heat island" effect caused by paved surfaces. These are just a few of the ways GRAM seeks to create an earth friendly and art friendly environment in downtown Grand Rapids. #earthday #grandrapidsartmuseum
