If you need respiratory and skin protection, I think it's safe to say that it is not at all a green option. Why not stop and consider the cost-benefit of environmental and potential health damage ...
I've bought a fair amount of stuff there and it's actually pretty reasonable in terms of prices. They're also happy to keep an eye out for specific pieces if you ask them.
So this is a post about a plastic knick-knack that isn't necessary and features neither inventive use of recycled materials or some aspect that will reduce energy.

I too have a really similar set in a similar fabric so am eager to see the photos.
CostCo has these for $79.99 for all the non-winners.
If you have a yard or garden, you can run the drain hose outside or empty the bucket into the garden and thus reduce water use.
