Note from Krystal: What's the future of Grouphug? (Part 1)
When I think about the beginning of the company, my mind is flooded with memories of me sitting in the floor of my apartment in the Lower East Side. I made all my prototypes at home then. It was not unusual for my fingers to be sticky with glue or my kitchen table is covered in saw dust.  Continue reading

Winners of the Gingerbread Competition Announced!

The 4 winners of the 2nd annual Solar Gingerbread Competition were announced December 16th, check them out! 

1. Best Gingerbuddy story

Jack and Lily (@lil.y.meyer)

Jack and Lily live off the grid in the wilderness of the Midwestern US. Their house is on the bank of a river where they get fresh water and built on the base of an old tree so they didn’t have to clear any space to build. They utilize the nearby river to produce backup power to their solar panels. Despite their remote living situation these two take their Christmas decorations very seriously but use minimal lights to preserve power. Their garden is used to grow native plants for food and other animals so they don’t travel to the grocery often and making sure anything they do use is composted, recycled, or reused as much as possible. Jack and Lily enjoy the peace they find and nature and the comfort it brings them knowing they’re making a difference in protecting the planet.

3. Most original and creative

Sam Hill-Cristol (@shcristol)

Our house is called “Snow Day in Brooklyn”. On a cold, snowy day in Brooklyn Gingerbuddy didn’t want to leave their house so instead they went up to the roof and dusted off their solar array to ensure that their day of activities would be powered by renewable energy. They also have compost pickup from Brooklyn business Groundcycle, but the snow prevented the Sunday pickup so the bucket remained outside. Gingerbuddys solar array is a small canopy common on Brooklyn brownstones, designed as such for structural reasons and to give space for a roof garden in the summer.
