Lowe's carries zero VOC paints

When I was choosing paints for a recent home addition, I went to Lowe's out of convenience for myself and my contractor. I hadn't put much thought into paints with zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Olympic line carried by Lowe's was on the list of eco-friendly paints.

Olympic paints are Green Seal certified and promise no noxious odors as you roll them onto your walls. Paints contribute to the amount of toxic air that circulates your home. Most new paints have to meet lower volatile organic compound levels than in the past but to switch to zero VOCs can put some strain on your wallet. Olympic offers a safe, reasonably priced alternative to boutique green paints from about $18 to $25 per gallon.
