				<p><strong>&quot;Green&quot; Paint<p>In Portland, Oregon the city has a recycled/used paint program. <a href="http://topaz.metro-region.org/article.cfm?articleID=521" rel="nofollow">http://topaz.metro-region.org/article.cfm?articleID=521<br>
You can purchase 5 gallon buckets of paint that are donated by contractors, home remodelers, etc. Admitedly, the color choices are not as extensive as you'll find at Home Depot, but it's a great way to use up paint that would otherwise be dumped. Perhaps other cities have similar programs.</br></a></p></strong></p>

				<p><strong>Green Paint</strong></p><p>I just painted my bathroom with Benjamin Moore's low VOC Eco-Spec paint. &nbsp;I have to say I was very impressed with the results. &nbsp;The walls were already white so I didn't have to prime, but I only had to do one coat to get good coverage. &nbsp;It's a bit more expensive than the non-eco friendly paints, but in my mind it's well worth it. &nbsp;</p>

				<p><strong>Benjamin Moore</strong></p><p>I too recently repainted with BM's Ecospec paint. &nbsp;I also think that it covered just as well as their Regal line. &nbsp;As for cost, BM has always been more expensive than other paints you'd find at home depot, but the Ecospec was a few dollars cheaper than the Regal at the store I went to in northern Virginia. &nbsp;If I have to paint again, Ecospec will be at the top of my list.</p>

				<p><strong>response</strong></p><p>The odors of paint sure is disturbing. I never have to ensure with them since the paint I usually got from the store is odorless. I'm not sure if it's termed under eco-friendly paint. But I think it should. Nice tips on though.</p>
