What flooring is considered to be the most environmentally friendly or green?

Wood, bamboo, and Cork are considered to be the most environmentally friendly. It’s important to consider the glues, varnishes and sealants involved though because the glues used in cork flooring, for example, may contain formaldehyde. Bamboo has also come under fire for being overly processed or using formaldehyde-laden glues. Hardwood is usually free of toxic adhesives because of its tongue-and-groove installation. So hardwood would probably be your best choice.
