Sponsored Post – from the Austin Earth Day Festival

This series introduces the sponsors of Austin Earth Day Festival in the weeks leading up to our April 23rd event. It’s great to be able to feature these businesses and organizations that are helping to make Austin more sustainable.

I was going to wax sentimental here by riffing on tree houses and fond memories until I read about the products TreeHouse offers and realized there was no need for fluff — the products tell their own story. Especially their new ultra-healthy paint. Ultra-healthy paint is not a phrase you expect to hear, but TreeHouse’s new line of ROMABIO paint is truly a breakthrough product.

“ROMABIO is the first Cradle to Cradle Certified paint and is among the healthiest, most beautiful, and durable paints available in the world today,” said TreeHouse in their April 7th announcement. And here is the list of features:

• Derived from natural sources
• Use minerals and sustainable materials (no petroleum)
• Zero VOC
• Odorless
• Naturally mold-resistant
• Beautiful and highly durable

If you don’t know about TreeHouse you really should. TreeHouse is the first home improvement store to feature a full suite of products and services that promote healthy and sustainable spaces. Their standards of quality are very high, and customers rely on them to find high-performing nontoxic paint, sustainable flooring, and home solar systems.

TreeHouse offers ground-breaking products like Kentucky’s Big Ass Fans, Bole Flooring, Soma Water Filters, Nest products, and coming soon, the Tesla Powerwall!

And for those who were missing the fluff — I really do love tree houses because they remind me of a time when my dreams were untainted by the realities of daily life. As I have matured, I have remained an idealist, but added a persistent drive to bring good ideas into reality. And I think that may be a common thread among the Austin EcoNetwork readers. Well, as far as I can tell, TreeHouse is bringing all kinds of cool dreams into reality. Just go to the showroom and you will see what I mean.

Come visit the TreeHouse booth at the Austin Earth Day Festival. The first 50 people to book consultations get VIP seating for Asleep at the Wheel!
