Eco Friendly Painting by Parable Painting

A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your home and your spirit, however, if not done wisely, this attempt to rejuvenate your surroundings can have hazardous side-effects to both you and the planet.  Fortunately, eco friendly painting services such as those offered by conscious business Parable Painting, are making it easier for us to make our homes beautiful without the harm.

Why Eco Painting?

Painting is one of the easiest ways to update a home, express your individuality and improve the feel of your environment.  However, in an ironic twist of fate, the many harmful chemicals found in the hundreds of paints found at local hardware stores could do more harm than good.

The EPA has stated that due to the large amount of off-gassing that occurs from paints, furniture and flooring made with highly toxic chemicals, the air quality we experience inside is about 90% more toxic than the air outdoors. According to the folks at Parable Painting, “The paint probably used in your home uses Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOC’s, which emit that familiar ‘new paint’ aroma, but also can be very damaging to the body (i.e. formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, benzene, and toluene)… These chemicals are either known, or suspected carcinogens and are released in the air your breath.”

Not only are our immune systems at risk, but our planet as well.  The EPA has also stated that 9% of pollutants that create the detrimental ground level Ozone come from the VOC’s in paint.  In short, a change in the way we paint has to be made.  Fortunately, this dilemma is easily fixed by using the services of companies like Parable Painting that are dedicated to helping bring down the effects of this pollution by using quality paint that will not have the same negative effects as traditional paint.
