“I am endorsing the continuation of Green Depot by the new owners. I am confident that they will carry forward Tom’s vision of sustainable, energy-efficient living. I look forward to the expansion and great success of this business whose time has come. Good luck Jonathan – and all who have signed on for the ride!”

The GREEN DEPOT has been a pioneer in energy efficient building systems for over fifteen years. After the passing of Tom St.Louis, a Northwest EcoBuilding Guild board member and friend of the St. Louis family approached Jonathan Campbell of Tahoma Group to continue the legacy of GREEN DEPOT Inc. and the green building revolution that Tom had been such an instrumental pioneer. Over the past two months, Jonathan has met with local developers, trades people, builders and community leaders to explore how to best steward the company toward the future. He purchased the company January 1, 2008.
