Natural Buildings Network is hosting Gary Duncan, founder of Colorado's Smart Shelter Network, this Sunday, April 29, at Hatch&Parent's community relations office at 1014 State Street, at 7pm.  We invite the public to learn about  natural materials projects that avoid toxic materials and conserve our natural resources and precious clean air and water supplies.

We suggest a donation of $10 for Gary's travel expenses.  We also ask that guests refrain from wearing any artificial fragrances, for those who are highly allergic.

Come hear Gary's latest techniques, plus hear local builders discuss 'papercrete', new cob construction at the Ojai Foundation, and other pertinent topics.  

Any questions?  Please contact MAFroley@MindSpring.com

The Natural Builders Network listserv was birthed after a half-day workshop with Gary Duncan from smartshelter.com (on November 11, 2000). The listserv is a way to keep the energy flowing and the communications moving regarding creating a Network of Natural Builders in the area from San Luis Obispo to San Diego. The idea is to create a network of engineers, builders, architects, insurance agents, lenders, contractors, strawbale construction folks and attorneys "to compete with the non-renewable toxic and environmentally destructive aspects of conventional building." (Gary Duncan)
