Contestant's Case to Win

We are an antiques/salvage operation who have arrived at a NEGATIVE carbon footprint overall. We sell locally, regionally, and world-wide. Our sourcing is mostly local, we live above our building, do not do shows or extensive travel.

We originated the idea of ULTIMATE GREEN by incorporating the carbon savings across generations into our products. Our customers appreciate our combination of antiques/salvage as the road to a sustainable business and decorating model.

By applying hand done restorations, and natural materials such as shellacs, beeswax, analine dyes, we produce toxic free products, and our production processes incorporate minimum possible waste. As a business we produce ONE garbage bag of waste per week !

In one simple word, ours is the GREENEST business around.
And we've been green long before it became the "IN" thing lately.

Our name says it all. Green Spot Antiques.
We even run an online group called Antiques Recyclers-Salvage Chic at http://greenspotting.ning.com

Our sales sites are located at
http://greenspot.ning.com and
http://greenspotantiques.com

We also sell on ebay, bonanzle, and other venues.
When you think of green, think of antiques, salvage, and recycled material -- Think GREEN SPOT!
