Probably the ultimate ‘Green’ window coverings are grass cloth, or woven wood shades. These shades have been around for literally thousands of years. They are produced from readily available grasses, reeds and bamboo. All of these materials are quickly renewed in the natural growing process and need little to no fossil fuels to produce.

Some materials are painted, dyed or stained, so watch for products in their natural state. These shades can be lined with a natural canvas or linen lining to provide more light control. Some major producers of eco-friendly grass cloth shades include Conrad Shades, Castec and Hunter Douglas.
