The Green Living Center (GLC), located at 1020 N. Monroe Street on the same block as Decent Pizza, aims to be Tallahassee's answer to all things green.
The GLC hosts a wide array of products and services from green businesses in and around the Tallahassee area. In fact, if you have a green business, or green business idea and would like some space to place products, or a place to advertise, come on down to the GLC and chat with the friendly folks there to see what they can do for you.
Different Low Energy lighting options available at the GLC
The GLC is a unique, somewhat quirky, and definitely very interesting blend of all things green: building supplies, flooring, organic clothing, cleaning products, etc. and Fair Trade products from around the world: coffee, ceramics, clothing, art, children's toys, musical instruments, etc...
Lindsey Billesbach (co-owner of GLC) explains the benefits and differences of green flooring options to a customer
Additionally, the GLC has a comfortable and spacious area that is for hanging out, reading, relaxing, and, in the evenings, there are often some great community events: movies, presentations, workshops, etc.
Bioplastics are always available.
Products include plates, cups, bowls, forks, knives, spoons and more. 100% compostable, 100% biodegradable, and 100% made with natural plant-based materials from corn, sugar cane, or potato..!
These are cheap, and high quality alternatives to wasteful, disposable, plastics.
There's definitely nothing else like this in the area. So come on down and check out what Tallahassee has to offer for the green in all of us.

Looking to get a home certified in the Tallahassee area...
For about 4 months now, I have been actively working as a Green Home Certifying Agent with the Florida Green Building Coalition, and have worked on over 100,000 sq. ft. of green buildings in the Tallahassee area. Now, I am really excited to say, if you want to build a LEED for homes green home in the Tallahassee area, myself and one other field agent are now able to provide the field checking, consulting, and assistance with the LEED for homes standards.
This last week we participated in a class at the Florida Solar Energy Center. All participants were required to already be either: 1) LEED AP credentialed; 2) Florida Green Building Coalition Green Home Certifying Agents; or 3) certified HERS raters... The class covered the basics of the LEED for homes standards, and prepared all participants to act as field agents for the LEED for homes standards.
If you are a builder or home owner and would like to get a green certification on your home (whether Energy Star, LEED for homes, or Florida Green building Coalition (FGBC), green home standard), please contact me at:

Also, please do not forget that I am a licensed REALTOR and a certified EcoBroker.
