Green Drinks of Savannah in the House!

Join us this Tuesday November 10th from 5:30 - 7:30pm at our Structured Green shop for some great drinks and awesome company. We are excited to host the Savannah chapter of Green Drinks at our headquaters for thier 2 year anniversary bash. They have set up some fantastic eats, music, toasters, and the best beer special in all the land. . . BYOB!
Here's how the Green Drinks folks are dropping the news:

"It’s a birthday party and house party all rolled into one. We’re honoring two successful years of GreenDrinks as well as the recently award-winning Structured Green. There’ll be live music with local musician Stan Ray, free eats and a house-load of cool, eco-hip people. Plus, we’re saving you some money (consider it the GreenDrinks Economic Stimulus Package)by announcing the first ever BYOB GreenDrinks. Thaaaat’s riiight. You get to waltz into GreenDrinks with your own mixers, brown bag, six pack or bottle o’ vino. What better way to save a few bucks than to avoid high drink costs and that pesky tip for the bartender. Oh, the joys of house parties! And, if you’re so inclined, bring a few brewskies to share with a new friend."

So, with that said, how can you miss out on all the fun, right? We look forward to hanging out with all our buds here in town and throwing down with Green Drinks Savannah as they turn 2.

Bringing Home the Bacon

We are so proud to have been recognized as a community leader in Sustainability by winning the The Creative Coast's 2009 Innovation Award for Sustainability! We'd like to give a shout out to all the judges and sponsors for making last Thursday such a magical night on Broughton Street in downtown Savannah. The food, booze, and friends made for a great evening of memories -oh, and winning the the Sustainability award was pretty sweet too.

Light foot print, and heavy award. The trophies were designed by local artists and composed of melted car parts mounted on scrap granite = 25lbs. I'm very greatful the trophy itself caused no bodily damage to others as we toted our prize from bar to bar for a quick "victory" lap in Market square.

Thanks again to all involved in the 2009 Awards Banquet. We'll see you next year. . .

Sustainable Savannah

I've recently started following the blog: Sustainable Savannah.

Check out this week's particularly entertaining post on the inconsiderate nature of some driver's in our beloved little town:

This is such exciting news.  We're so happy to be a part of it, and are really thrilled to be in the running for the Sustainability Award along with local businesses Ikea and ReFuel Savannah.

Thanks to the Creative Coast for organizing such a rad event, and for recognizing Structured Green's passion for sustainability!

OOps we did it again.

 

All too often, the hunt for baby furniture leads one down a path of fairy tale turrets and country kitchen floral.  Luckily, we came along with our Oops crib.  Built from our Drop Detail: a composition of reclaimed and FSC certified woods, this crib is playful without being childish. 

 

Every piece is an original, since we’re using reclaimed wood that comes from serendipitous and intriguing sources.  We’ve found wood in 150-year old barns, or abandoned at the Savannah port, or reclaimed from botched installation jobs.

 

We use FSC certified bamboo for the sides, and finish it all with local beeswax and USDA food grade Tung Oil.

 

This is one that Moms and Dads can be proud of.
