a.k.a. Green: YOUR SOURCE FOR ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDING MATERIALS
Did you ever wonder about the environmental impact from the process of manufacturing the varnish used to refinish your front door? Or whether the fumes from your new carpeting are polluting the indoor air of your home? With the rise of the “green” movement, issues such as these are increasingly on people’s minds. Now, when it comes to building materials, Phoenix-area residents have a place both to educate themselves and to purchase “responsibly.”
The goal of a.k.a. Green is to promote the “triple bottom line — people, planet and prosperity — by educating people on products that are healthier for them, for the planet, and selling these materials to make a living and a sustainable business.” The company offers everything from eco-friendly countertops to healthy flooring to water-saving toilets, to zero VOC paints, sealers, and coatings. A lot of research has gone into their product selection. As a result, customers can feel comfortable knowing that the items displayed at the store have already been screened and are the best available within the marketplace.
More than strictly an eco-friendly building supply center, a.k.a. Green is at the forefront of the statewide “green” movement, bringing together employee advocates, concerned customers, in-novative suppliers, cutting-edge pro-fessionals, and pro-active community members and groups dedicated to improving the way we live. They provide architectural design services and project consulting as well as monthly educational workshops that cover a variety of green building and socially responsible topics.
