Green paint

No, not necessarily the colour green... Does anybody know of a good supplier of eco-friendly paints, floor covering and other DIY products? I never seem to see any in the usual shops.

Not sure there is actually eco-friendly paint; just eco-less-unfriendly stuff. I suppose the best stuff to use (depending upon what you are doing with it) is some sort of wood oil. But I found these suppliers in my bookmarks:

Great, thanks. I need it for my kitchen walls; for wood I always use linseed oil.
