Green America


five ACCESSORIES is Officially a Member of Green America
In August of this year, we went through the application process of applying to Green America to become a business member. “Green America's Green Business Network™ is the largest network of socially and environmentally responsible businesses in America. Membership is subject to approval.”


About Green America
“Green America is a not-for-profit membership organization founded in 1982. (We went by the name "Co-op America" until January 1, 2009.)
Our mission is to harness economic power—the strength of consumers, investors, businesses, and the marketplace—to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.”


Green America offers green businesses with a number of perks as a member. Things like being listed in their business directory and having the privilege to sell on World of Good on eBay and more as listed on their membership page.
Becoming a member of Green America was important to us because it gives five ACCESSORIES credibility to consumers in the market place and in being known as a sustainable business. So it is with great pleasure that we announce we have received word that we are now officially members of Green America!

CRAVE Chicago



Monday, November 16th 2009, five ACCESSORIES and our Interns had the opportunity to go to the CRAVE Chicago 'book launch' party, at The Arthur Murray Dance Studio.It was a great opportunity to mingle and network with other Chicagoan business owners, such as The Meatloaf Bakery, The Damian Group, Honey Cafe, Dry Soda, Solixir, Candyality, Busy Beaver Button Company, Chocolate Gourmet and NAHA! The night consisted of meringue dance lessons, good music, great conversation, and delicious samples! Best treat of the night had to be the gummy bears from Candyality! They definitely kept us going back for more!





Visit the Crave Chicago website to see what they're all about. You can pick up a copy of the book at the five ACCESSORIES retail location at 5247 N Clark St, Chicago, IL. Check out five ACCESSORIES on page 90!
