We’ve found a few great sponsers for our project, including this awesome Philadelphia based company called Greenable.
Greenable is an excellent resource for interior and exterior green building materials. They have everything from paint to countertops made out of recycled detergent bottles and they do everything from a green roof installation to an entire design project.
“With each material sale or project, we conserve resources, save energy, reduce CO2, support local economies, and protect the health of people and the environment.”
