GGLO Wins 1st Place at Product Runway

Posted by at 3:18 PM




GGLO, along with Atlas Carpet Mills, took 1st place in the competition for Product Runway, held at the Naval Reserve on May 2, 2008.

“TEAM STEAM’S” garment was constructed of 90% carpet, the interior product they were randomly matched up. The garment wowed the crowd because of the creative use of the product – deconstructed into yarn, first and secondary backing, and even some of the parts and pieces of the machinery used to weave the carpet.

Product Runway was a fundraiser for the Interior Design Coalition of Washington (www.idcwashington.org).

Arbor Day Planting with Capitol Hill Housing

Posted by at 4:34 PM



Each year, GGLO donates trees, shrubs and labor to one of our affordable housing clients in celebration of Arbor Day.

This year's recipient was Capitol Hill Housing's Bremer / John Carney Apartments' courtyard. In just two hours, Anne-Emilie, Barry, Laura, Lydia, Marieke S-R, Matt, Ramon, Zack and Shaney planted three trees and over 100 shrubs and ground cover; transforming the neglected courtyard into a beautiful respite.

The apartment manager and one resident helped our crew with installation, and emailed to say how "fabulous the courtyard looks and how rejuvenated the residents of the building feel having the work done".

Capitol Hill Housing thanks GGLO for our "good deeds". Our Arbor Day donation has freed up funds for them to purchase new furniture for this courtyard.

Thanks to everyone who supported and volunteered for the planting party, the Contributions Committee for supporting this cause, and a special thanks to the “select” group that carried all that soil up two flights of stairs!

2008 Earth Day with People for Puget Sound

Posted by at 2:54 PM



Clayton O’Brien-Smith, Lydia Heard, Anne Gustavson, and former GGLO-er Phil Cardon joined 200 other volunteers to clean-up the Duwamish Waterway during People for Puget Sound’s “Duwamish Alive!” event on April 19, 2008.

Together, they removed 30 cubic yards of weeds, planted 900 plants, and placed approximately 15 cubic yards of mulch in an effort to restore habitat for native plants and animals including salmon, beaver and osprey.

For more information on future restoration events at the Hamm Creek site along the Duwamish, please contact our Sound Stewards, Lydia Heard lheard@gglo.com or Anne Gustavson agustavson@gglo.com.
