GreenDepot can be a retailer of green products and building supplies for the sustainably-minded consumer. The launch of their flagship retail store in Manhattan can be a great achievement not only for GreenDepot, but for the state of New York as a whole. GreenDepot was New York States initial LEED Platinum certified retailer, thanks to the careful rehab of its Bowery street store, efficient energy systems and also the sale of sustainable products. The storefront was once NYCs first YMCA, and the floor upon which its wares are shelved was a basketball court within the earlier setting. Everything you see within the store is green-minded, from the interior design to the products its buyers purchase. This is the work of modest enterprise in action, plus the consumers of GreenDepots web site and other retail outlets allowed this good achievement to happen. This is how your tiny business dollar can aid lead the front of green design. [images by PSFK's Dave Pinter]
