Go Green AK Community Greenhouse
As a thriving local business, we feel it's our responsibility to not only Go Green for us, but for our community as well.
Thanks to our employees and the brainstorming of our AK Go Green Team, we decided to build a greenhouse. Not only will the greenhouse be made of various recycled materials from our own warehouse such as used wooden pallets and metal scraps, but it will produce fruits and vegetables grown from our very own composted soil. Our team will create this soil from all organic materials such as discarded area clippings and used cardboard boxes. This will grant us a nutrient rich soil, free of chemicals, and lessen the amount of environment pollution & waste in our landfills.
The results of said greenhouse will be used by our very own employees for their friends and family, as well as be given out to those in need in the community.

We've got potatoes! The AK Green Team started growing them before the greenhouse was up so the greenhouse would actually have plants this year. Way to bring the sprouts guys!

The netting for the door along with the roof are done. AK Go Green Team members helped to bring in the upcycled pallet tables this past weekend. Most of the pots and planters were saved from being thrown into landfills, and now serve as homes for our wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. We're just about done with the build. We are really proud of our team for making this project happen, and can't wait to see the fruit of their labors (pun intended).

We had a cold spurt a few weeks back, so many of our plants didn't make it. However, the AK Go Green Team didn't let that little setback stop them. They took care of the dead plant and planted some new ones. We've got strawberries and tomatoes are on the way! Fantastic effort by everyone.
