Hello. I am charged with over seeing the drafting of a plan for a new
exhibition space. Does anyone have a plan that they have written for a
new exhibit that they would share with me off list?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting this, Joyce -

We've been going through similar research lately.  The main problem
we've run into, other than price of sustainable carpet, is that it also
has to comply with Class 1 Fire Resistance standards set by building
codes.

We've found carpets that comply to building codes, and are certainly
more Earth-friendly than they used to be, and even those that are glued
down use "extremely low VOC" glue.  But it seems a far cry from
sustainable, and getting at the real info (as opposed to sales hype) has
been difficult and time consuming.

I'll be interested in what others come up with -

Thanks,
Carlyn Buckler
