Hall Street Self-Storage (at 12 Hall Street) opened as the country’s first green self-storage facility back in May 2008. Now it seems they’re going one step further and becoming their own brand – iStoreGreen. As a leading local company using 100% Green-E renewable energy, iStoreGreen is growing to meet even more environmental needs to assist the urban community living in their small spaces or maintaining their pack rat lifestyles, with a conscious effort to not add to the ever growing carbon footprint.

Now, under the iStoreGreen brand, still more green actions have been added, including desks for the company’s offices and shelving for the storage spaces made from the wood reclaimed from the remodel of the Brooklyn building; solar hot water heating; and the creation of a booklet (printed on recycled paper with soy ink) given to customers and members of the local community with ideas for taking green home with them. Future plans include innovative ideas like a fleet of Pedi vans, which will use cycling power to transfer local residents’ possessions to their storage spaces for a zero-emissions move.

You don’t think Steve Jobs is going to be upset about the iStore business do you? Did they copyright starting words with little “i”‘s?
