The Mind Behind RC Green
Robert Craymer of RC Green wakes up every morning and says, "It’s a great day to be alive." Fueled by his passion for furniture design, he taught himself the skills necessary to pursue this craft. Beginning with a sketch of a coffee table on the first page of a blank notebook, he altered this design each day until every page was full.
After making a name for his company in the design industry, Craymer yearned to do something greater for mankind. He gave his company an all-green makeover, using sustainable wood, recycled steel, eco fabrics, and non-toxic stains and glues, and created his new motto: “Think forward. Think change. Think green.”
Satisfied with his transformation, Craymer says, “If I left today, I could say, “˜I’ve done something that I can be proud of.’ It can’t get any better than that.”Craymer has come a long way in his 15 years of experience. His designs have been used at the Oscars, the Golden Globes, the Sundance Film Festival and Live-Earth, and he founded the Cradle to Cradle program, in which old furniture is recycled and refurbished.
He is also working on a line of all-natural bedding, T-shirts and shoes. As creative force behind the upcoming web site RC Green Tree, he aims to provide consumers with a central resource for eco-friendly products and services. The television show RC Green Room is also in the works, on which Craymer will feature various aspects of a green lifestyle and tell his audience, "If I can do it, anybody can do it!”

OMG give me a breal. Al Gore sofa? Is there anybody who has not jumped on green bandwagon. Driving to work in their Hummers and maintaining their mega mansions while lecturing everyone on how to live green!
What a joke.

We’re always being asked to choose up sides whether it is politics, religion or global warming. I myself have dedicated my lifestyle to “green living”. But people don’t have to be on one side or another if they just realize that we’re all on this planet living our lives together. Just living your best life, knowing in your heart that you have tried to make a contribution, no matter how small, is what reaslly defines each one of us.
