CINCINNATI - Building green homes doesn't mean you're a hobbit with a home made out of straw.
It's actually considered hip these days to try to preserve the environment through the use of sustainable building materials.
The owner of Greener Stock, architect Heather Curless, celebrated her one year anniversary at her store's Columbia Tusculum location at 3528 Columbia Parkway.
Curless says her store's mission is to help home and business owners create more sustainable environments by building awareness and providing resources.
Curless says green building products benefit people and the planet.
She says the products help with energy efficiency.
They're made from recycled content, have been sustainably sourced, and or they do not contribute to negative indoor air quality because they're made with non-toxic adhesives or sealers.
Curless says there are even denim products that can be used as insulation in homes.
The store celebrated its one year anniversary with workshops on weatherization and other sustainable living tips.
