Even your home should be made from stuff that does not harm the environment. Lately we have talked about floors made from <A href="http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/recycled-hardwood-flooring-from-terramai/">recycled wood</A> and <A href="http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/cork-flooring-eco-friendly-and-wallet-friendly-too/">cork</A>, they all promise to have a minimal impact on the environment.
