1. Latex mattresses are a natural, biodegradable renewable resource:Beginning on plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia, latex is sap milked from rubber trees in a manner not unlike collecting maple syrup.

Of the five major types of air filters, here's a quick look at four of them - one type (the ozone air filter) is not environmentally friendly, and consumers are not encouraged to purchase filters of this type.Mechanical Filters - One of the best types of mechanical filters is the HEPA filter, which forces air through a special screen that traps allergens such as pollen, dust mites and pet dander.
