Green Depot, the Brooklyn-based contributor of eco-friendly and sustainable building products, services and solutions, is opening its newest space on August 28th in Greenport, N.Y. The store will be Green Depot’s fifth on the East Coast and second in New York. Green Depot showcases the best of green building materials and features a design center where Green Depot staff works with customers to find building solutions that are green, cost-efficient and easily adaptable into construction or renovation projects.

Green Depot offers environmentally sound and healthy home products and alternatives including zero-VOC paint, soy foam insulation and eco-friendly cleaning supplies. Green Depot is proud to feature products such as AFM Safecoat paints and finishes, FSC-certified lumber, Ultra Touch natural cotton insulation and Moldex, to name a few. Green Depot also offers customer’s access to its 360 Network of qualified green experts and LEED accredited professionals.

Green Depot has a “Flip It Green” program, in which a “green team” works one-on-one with builders to take conventional blueprint specs and re-work them to offer better, healthier and greener alternatives on any project.

Green Depot was founded by Sarah Beatty in 2005 and has showrooms in Brooklyn and Long Island, N.Y., Newark, N.J., Philadelphia, Pa., and Boston, Ma., as well as 10 additional distribution centers spanning the East Coast. For more information, please visit www.greendepot.com.

Let’s hope that as more and more people become aware of the building effects of building green, there will be a call to action to build more “Green Depots” all across the States! Watch out Home Depot, Green Depot is on its way!
