Austin-Based TreeHouse Green Home Improvement Goes National

The sustainable home improvement store TreeHouse is the first-of-its-kind store to go national, according to a release from the company.

The first stores will probably start off in like-minded sustainability communities like Boulder, CO; Portland, OR; San Francisco; and Seattle. Store offerings: non-toxic and energy-efficient building products, flooring made from recycled material, natural cleaners, LED lighting, solvent-free finishes, water-conserving cisterns and solar-energy systems.
