Introducing Evan, a new bGreen Team member

Hey y’all!

My name’s Evan, native to Westport, MA, new to the Boston area! Ever since I was 14 I have been involved in eco friendly practices while working on an organic farm during my high school summers, but it wasn’t until I attended Ithaca College that I really knew what it all meant. Being encompassed in sustainabile practices throughout my four years at Ithaca taught me to be conscience of my eco footprint, and how I can reduce it in my daily activities.

After graduation in 2009, I headed to Hawaii where I wwoofed (world wide opportunities on organic farms). Here I worked for 4 months on an organic lettuce farm on the Kona side of the Big Island. After these 4 amazing months I continued on to Australia, where I lived and worked for a year, mainly on the Gold Coast of Queensland. Upon the expiration of my visa I set off for 6 months traveling all throughout Southeast Asia, and found myself back in the States this past May!

Working with bGreen has allowed me to focus my time and effort on promoting and spreading eco friendly practices to all. I would consider myself to be easy going, with a passion for trying new and exciting things. Feel free to swing on by and chat to me if you want to know anything else!

bGreen + Faneuil Hall = Home for the Holidays

For the past year and a half you’ve been able to find the bGreen Mobile Showroom at different events in and around Boston.  We kicked off with Greenfest on City Hall Plaza.  We’ve been to green events in Roslindale, Newton, Brookline, and Winchester just to name a few.  We’ve done SoWa.  We’ve done the New England Home Show.  All were incredible events where we met great, interested folks and were able to show off our awesome eco friendly home and building products.  But there was just one catch - each event was just a day, or in the case of the Home Show, a few days.  Well, that’s about to change.

We are beyond excited to announce that the bGreen Mobile Showroom will have a permanent home for the Holiday Season.

Starting tomorrow, Saturday, December 3, and running through Friday, December 23, the bGreen Mobile Showroom will be parked right in the heart of Faneuil Hall at Marketplace Center.  According to Faneuil Hall’s website:

There’s a magical place in the center of Boston like no other - Faneuil Hall Marketplace. As alive today as it was in 1742 when our nation’s fathers proclaimed it “The Cradle of Liberty,” it combines the glories of Boston’s past with the urban sophistication of the city today.

 We’ll be setup 7 days a week along side stores like Banana Republic, Crocs, American Eagle, and The Gap.  Our shelves are stocked with the latest eco-friendly gifts (check out our Holiday Gift Guide) and as always, our amazing green building materials.  Yup, it’s the big-time for bGreen, and we’re beyond excited.

Location: Faneuil Hall Marketplace Center

Hours: Monday - Wednesday, 10am - 7pm; Thursday - Saturday, 10am - 9pm; Sunday, 12pm - 6pm

Dates: Saturday, December 3 - Friday, December 23

We would be remiss if we didn’t thank the City of Boston, Randi Lathrop at the BRA, and Michael Murphy of the Clarendon Group USA for making this possible.  We owe you a major debt of gratitude, and perhaps a reusable water bottle or 20.

See you at the truck!

Fort Point Holiday Stroll Friday Night, 12/2

For the second year running, we’re going to have the bGreen Mobile Showroom at the Fort Point Holiday Stroll.

This year, we’re psyched to be surrounded by two other Mobile Retail trucks - The Fashion Truck and Green Street Vault.

So come on down and check out the great shops, restaurants, and Mobile Retail trucks tomorrow night from 4pm - 8pm.  We’ve got the bGreen Mobile Showroom stocked with TONS of great holiday gifts and maybe even some adult beverages.  There are prizes and activities planned all night long.

We’ll be parked at Channel Center.  See you then!

Congressman Barney Frank Visits the bGreen Mobile Showroom

The bGreen Mobile Showroom was one of the main attractions at the Newton Harvest Festival Green Solutions 2010 yesterday in Newton Centre, MA.   The Showroom was open for business and drew a large crowd, including our first celebrity/politician visit.



Congressman Barney Frank, of the Fourth Congressional District of MA, took the time to stop by the bGreen Mobile Showroom and learn about our business and products.  It was great to have Congressman Frank in and he was quite interested in hearing how bGreen came to be.

We’re happy to report that we are making progress on finishing the inside of the showroom.  The materials have been ordered and have started to arrive.  The plans have been finalized, tweaked, and finalized again!  As we’re learning, even the best laid out plans and schedules change, so we’re working hard to adjust accordingly.  We’re anxious to get the inside finished and bring you the latest and greatest eco friendly building materials.
