 GreenWerks is a Chicago, Illinois-based company that develops new, eco-friendly construction and green remodeling solutions for Chicago homeowners and businesses. They work to enable their clients to live a green lifestyle in a way that is measurable, manageable and practical. GreenWerks is committed to sustainable, non-toxic, renewable energy products. They understand that green building practices reduce maintenance and operating costs over time, and they also understand the important role that green building practices play in combating global warming. Since about 40% of all materials used in the United States today are comprised of construction materials, it makes a whole lot of green sense to build sustainable, eco-friendly buildings; and that's exactly what EnviroCitizen.org has found that GreenWerks is doing!
Chris Campbell, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Greenwerks, understands the importance of making a green difference. Through Greenwerks, he and his team are responding to the American public demand for greener lifestyles. He recognizes that cities are responsible for about 75% of all greenhouse gas emissions and the City of Chicago is no exception. Greenwerks works extensively with the city of Chicago to implement programs that are making municipal buildings and multi-tenant housing buildings more energy efficient. They also work with the city of Chicago to give homeowners financial incentives to make their own homes more energy efficient.
Campbell is incredibly optimistic and idealistic about his own personal life and solving environmental problems like global warming. As his blog attests, “entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't”. Campbell is the head of both Greenwerks and Lakeshore Branding, which is an online marketing and web-design firm. Campbell also offers public speaking events about entrepreneurship, green construction and internet marketing. He is an active volunteer in the Chicago community in an effort to give back. He volunteers with St. Vincent DePaul Center, where he has logged more than 1,000 hours in the past 2 years volunteering at a senior center!
In short, Campbell is an ambitious guy with ambitious goals. He is taking aggressive action to make Greenwerks the most effective and productive eco-friendly contracting company in Chicago. Greenwerks is making a real difference, too. So, if you live in Chicago and want to build a new home or renovate an existing home in a green way, EnviroCitizen.org believes that Greenwerks is the company to contact.
