Go green, go local…
Volunteering at the
Chicago Green Festival™ this weekend gave me an opportunity to meet lots of
local green businesses. As many of us are trying to
go green in our offices—not to mention support local businesses—I’ve decided to share a few of my finds. (I’m a customer of a few of these businesses already!)
- Green Depot: building & cleaning supplies, lighting, paints, home & office décor – they also carry eco-friendly packaging materials (NW side Chicago)
- Gilasi: recycled glass countertops (Chicago) – shown at left
- GreenHeart: fair trade art, accessories, clothing – great place to find unique client or office gifts (downtown Chicago)
- Stainless Cups: stainless water bottles (Carol Stream, IL)
- GreenMonkey: organic catering (downtown Chicago)
- The Enterprising Kitchen: soap & spa products – they make great gifts for clients or colleagues! (N side Chicago)
