"Hoot" Judkins has been "A Greener Choice" for over 55 years by offering choices of affordable, real wood furniture, hand-crafted in the USA. Making "A Greener Choice" today is not only the responsible choice for our environment, but a healthier choice for your family. We provide these scores so you can make an educated decision that is the best choice for your family. Use these scores to compare our product and to learn more about the furniture that will become part of your home. 

How do we assign our "Greener Choice Score" to our product?

Scores will range anywhere from 30 to 100, lowest to highest. If the item scores less than 30, we refuse to stock it in our stores because of poor craftsmanship and quality. We use the following categories to give each item a score based on the following factors:

• Construction Material (Go solid!)
• Distance to our Stores (Shop Made in California or Made in the USA)
• Type of Finish (low VOC and durability)
• Craftsmanship (Built to last generations)
• Packaging (Wrapped in reusable blankets)
• Corporate Responsibility (we're all doing our part)

"Hoot" Judkins is a greener choice:

• We only sell furniture locally and we do not ship outside the Bay Area. When you are making a purchase from "Hoot" Judkins, you strengthen our local economy.
• We choose to purchase from local vendors in California which also means that less fuel and packaging is used to ship to our stores.
• We consolidate our delivery trucks in an effort to minimize our fuel use.
• We only use resuable blankets and ties in our delivery trucks. 
• We recycle 99% of our paper, styrofome and cardboard that is used as packing materials and office supplies.
• We make a conscious effort to minimize our use of paper in our offices and stores.
• All sales invoices and price tags are printed on recycled paper. 99% of our paper waste is recycled.
• We partner with our shipping companies to consolidate loads from different vendors to reduce fuel usage.
