On August 14, 2009, SmartStrand took on a 2800 pound challenge…his name is Ricko and he lives at the Birmingham Zoo. 2800 pounds of black rhino, living, eating and – well you know – on SmartStrand for 14 days. Typically Ricko is a fan of hard surface and not carpet, but it seems like he might be changing his tune. I’ve been in this industry for nearly 17 years and I have never seen a carpeting put to a test like this.

I am pointing everyone to Amy’s blog post because it ROCKS! She is a supporter of green products, program and processes, but does so with a realistic and smart attitude…as do many in the space. The reality of the situation we are in environmentally is that we cannot continue to use fear-based communications to influence behavior. it does not work!!!
Kudos to Amy! Maybe someday these radical factions will get a clue!
How honest is your honesty???

Welcome to CarpetGirl’s new blog. I decided to start this due to the overwhelming response I have gotten on ivillage’s GardenWeb Flooring forums. I realize carpet is a confusing and often complicated process and I would like to help everyone to navigate the waters more smoothly. I am open to discussing any flooring related questions people have, but my expertise is in carpeting and has been for nearly 17 years.
