In recent years, people have started realizing the importance of saving the environment any way they can. With that in mind, many house owners have started incorporating the “green” movement in their homes. It goes without saying then that shower curtains even your awesome mickey mouse shower curtain, especially the plastic types, can also be changed. Take a few minutes to read about some of the recommendations you might want to consider.

The terrible thing about plastic shower curtains is that they tend to emit some not so ozone friendly gassing. This is especially true when they are new. Here are some few thoughts to help deal with this.

If you live in a dry climatic area then consider buying Hemp shower curtains. My reason for saying only those living in drier areas should consider this is because it takes a longer time to dry.

Wet curtains for the shower are a breeding ground for mold and mildew and therefore calls for a regular wash. The more it is washed, the quicker it wears out so you need to realize the opportunity cost here. Still hemp products are part of a sustainable economy and are good choice depending upon where you live. You can find this one selling at about $90.

You can also avoid buying any kind of a plastic curtain and go for fabric. You can easily find a nylon shower curtain that dries quickly and is machine washable. You can buy yourself a nice fabric curtain at $20, which comes with a very tight weave and repels water perfectly fine. I prefer this one from Hemp, because it is capable of drying faster and repels mold growth better. There are several options to choose from in terms of color and patterns such as paisley shower curtains,. Or you can find online companies that sell red shower curtains of your choice. Think about the look and feel of your bathroom before choosing and you will find the right color combination.

I said I hate plastic, yes, but today the marketplace is creating that many “green” curtains that you can buy. If you need a new curtain ancd must buy a plastc one, that is okay. Just try to find another place in your lifestyle, that you can turn “green.”
