Green Depot's Grand Opening in New York

Home Depots are so 2005. Everybody knows that Green Depot is where all the cool DIYers go. The new retail store, in the lighting district of New York City, just opened last week and is the first from an existing green building-supply giant of the same name. It has all the comforts of a Home Depot (by the way, no relation): flooring, roofing, siding, paint, nails...only greener. And it also has features that serve to answer some common eco home dilemmas. Liquid soap, laundry detergent, and window cleaner refill stations help you reuse all those existing bottles in your house. And a dark room helps you figure out, once and for all, the difference between LED and incandescent lighting. With this one stop shop, you can sand, shingle, and spackle to your delight knowing that you won’t be introducing harsh chemicals to your house or planet.
