Question: Are so-called "natural" or "ecofriendly" paints much better than the aqueous-based paints which are now virtually everywhere? Aside for a rant --------------------- I ask because, on another forum, a link was posted to *this* piece in the Guardian; the article is dated March 19, 2019: and recommends: The first thing to note is that this is thick-as-a-plank "journalism", because the "proof" link which includes these recommendations is to an article from 2009, that looked forward to new and better regulation being introduced in 2010. ie The 2010 author Katherine Sorrell seems to be entirely careful and competent, and the 2019 author is a careless at best who seems to be more suited to Taboola or I Can Haz Cheeseburger, but is actually billed as a " former data journalist at the Guardian ". Sigh. --------------------------------- Anyhoo, back to the question: Are so-called "natural" or "ecofriendly" paints much better than the aqueous-based paints which are now virtually everywhere, including DIY sheds? My expectation is that there is little difference, and very probably not enough to justify a 300-500% price difference (from current prices on a couple of the recommendations vs Wickes full price).
