Earth Day
 Focus Items:  Earth Day is April 22, eco-friendly, recycled, repurposed, and upcycled items.  Materials should be reclaimed, naturally sourced, self-sustaining, and environmentally-friendly.   Easy on the earth options that are renewable (like bamboo) and clean the air are good picks.  Vintage, up-cycled lights and lamps, particularly with exposed bulbs.
