| - Go Green with a.k.a. green. You'll be glad you did.
I can't emphasize enough how expert the staff at a.k.a. green really is. They test every single product they sell (and don't sell) and that's amazing.
a.k.a.Green co-founder Mick Dalrymple helped start the Arizona Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council and now serves on the national Board of the organization. Additionally, he worked with a task force to update the Scottsdale Green Building Program's residential checklist, which launched in September, 2006. Currently, he's advising the national council on developing a single, all-encompassing green certification for products - something the industry (and customers) desperately need.
I had the opportunity to hear Mick speak at one of Scottsdale's Green Building Lectures, and I came away with two pages of notes, as well as a newfound love for clay paints and cork flooring.
You get what you pay for at a.k.a. green, so if you're remodeling, be sure to check it out. You'll find deals, too, sometimes. The last time I was down there, there was probably 25 gallons of beautiful clay paint for half price. Cork flooring is cheaper than you think, too... much cheaper.
Seriously. This is one of the best green products dealers in the nation - if not the world. Check it out.
