                        It's easy being GREEN!
     That's the sentiment of the customers bidding at Atlanta Habitat ReStore's 1st Silent Green Auction. All products and services in the auction were eco-friendly in honor of Earth Week and ranged from a getaway at an earth-friendly hotel & use of a hybrid car to a book signed by Nobel Prize winner Al Gore. Bidding was open 4 days, during which time customers tracked their bids, shopped, and donated at the ReStore. We look forward to seeing you again soon and at next year's Green Auction.
