CALIFORNIA'S LARGEST COMMERCIAL CARPET MANUFACTURER SUPPORTS
"THE GREEN HIVE"

HERMOSA BEACH (February 13, 2009) - The Green Hive announces that founding sponsor, Bentley Prince Street will lend its support to the comprehensive library located at The Green Hive's new site scheduled to open mid-2009. Bentley Prince Street is California's largest commercial carpet manufacturer, producing and shipping more than seven million yards of carpet each year.

"Architects, designers and facility managers are demanding more information than ever on sustainability and green products. The Green Hive is another way to influence change in our industry by engaging all of us to participate in sustainability on an entirely new level. Our partnership with the Green Hive complements our Mission Zero goal, which is to eliminate any negative our company may have on the environment by the year 2020," said Anthony Minite, president of Bentley Prince Street.

Kim Robinson, COO, The Green Hive says "We're enthusiastic about Bentley Prince Streets' support and we believe their 'Mission Zero' commitment is a great example of an ideal manufacturing mindset. They consistently seek innovative solutions and raise the bar for sustainability, thereby serving the greater good."

Kim adds "At the Green Hive we want to do our part to de-mystify the procurement of 'green' building products. Our new library will be a key resource for individuals seeking environmentally friendly building materials." The Green Hive's first location will be located in downtown Los Angeles. At this pilot location the community will have the opportunity to view new and pragmatic "green" lifestyle products, processes and information. Within The Green Hive the public will have free access to a brand new and comprehensive 'green' library where content has been vetted by working professionals.
