Transportation is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases out there, surpassed only by buildings. Go green and reduce your emissions while softening the blow of high gas prices by planning your shopping ahead of time or bundling online delivery purchases! With how expensive even regular daily travel is these days, driving less becomes both the more sustainable and more practical option for many. Creating a list of everything you need ahead of time and finding stores close to each other so you can do all of your shopping in one trip allows you to drive less, spend less money on gas, and shrink your carbon footprint in the process. Or if you’re getting items delivered, many sites give the option to bundle deliveries to reduce travel and emissions. Think about what you need for the coming weeks, and start planning your next trip or online purchases now to save yourself time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. Then follow along for more green lifestyle tips here or at greenbuildingcenter.com/50-shades-of-green.

We’re getting into the spooky spirit all month long by sponsoring the Memory Maker’s Trail of Magic! What began as unforgettable Halloween displays created by retired art teacher Dolores Dragan and displayed in her yard has expanded to an entire town full of her work. Travel through the streets of Lambertville to see Dolores’s creations glow beautifully in the dark as yet another show of this town’s endless creative spirit. At the Green Building Center, we love to support local artists from our community, and one of the ways we do this is by being a sponsor for the Trail of Magic! Our sustainable product showroom on Bridge St. is the first stop on the trail, and our sponsorship helps the town to continue to bring Dolores Dragan’s creations to life each Halloween! So, stop by our showroom as part of this Trail of Magic, and if you’re seeking a sustainable seasonal refresh for your space, reach out to [email protected] so we can work some green magic for you!

You can keep used items out of landfills by shopping at local thrift shops or online secondhand sites like ThredUp and Poshmark. These sites and shops also tend to be cheaper than buying new, so both the planet and your wallet will thank you! So cozy up to sustainability this season by checking out local thrift stores in your area today. Or if you don’t, Reduce your consumption by finding new ways to style the clothes you already have!

We had a lovely night attending and sponsoring Watershed Fest 2026 “Reflections on Water,” this year’s edition of the Watershed Institute’s largest annual fundraising event! This lovely night of great food, drinks, and music is hosted by The Watershed Institute, an organization working towards the “mission of keeping water clean, safe and healthy,” on their home turf of Central New Jersey and beyond. We’ve been a pond sponsor for The Watershed Institute for years now, and each summer donate our time to teach a one-week intensive highschool-level green architecture academy. As sustainability professionals who deeply support environmental justice, it’s a no-brainer for us to continually lend support to organizations like this that fight for access to green spaces, and equal access to the decision-making processes for creating healthy environments in which to live, learn, and work. We look forward to doing our part by continuing to help our clients design and build in a certifiably eco-friendly and health-conscious way. Check out the Watershed Institute if you’d like to learn more about their work, and visit greenbuildingcenter.com to create sustainable spaces with us!
