Dear Wesley, 

  Already well established in Europe, lime plaster 
and clay plasters, popular sustainable "green" 
interior and exterior finish plasters, are moving 
into the forefront of the green building scene as 
they have been selected to replace cement stucco, 
paints and finishes across the United States.

On Thursday, August 13th, Cynthia Grier of 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102664945054&s=104&e=001r_k8R_8Km7kJ_JZUvZ30e72J8bN9ndE9fJnyM1-rq8VPSI9t0iT3RLKkgbWMcK5z_9T_VP1Xx7hNjlyr7bGc59N_MeQjeeC3MLQjKd06XfgUAr-7hQkTNA==>EcoLogic 
Life, and Carolyn Marie and Jack Stephens of 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102664945054&s=104&e=001r_k8R_8Km7khIH1RJTahpQIhpGUPHkwrXANbJmOPjxqvyVNK-RLte5uXZujWnpjNzBVGEUNHVurInyWE6CaNW2UckdD4TQmcuWJ-EEzsquGoY-xNiPB-r61plvYSqSW2>Wild 
Earth Village Builders, are providing a free 
educational presentation on these environmentally 
safe and healthy options for home and office 
remodels, renovations and new building projects.

  Natural plasters protect walls from wind, rain 
and fire. They provide a beautiful, durable and 
non-toxic finish for interiors and exteriors that 
revive old world traditions from Tuscany to Tokyo.

Learn how these ancient methods have been 
continued in modern Europe and Asia. Discover how 
limestone comes from the earth, is transformed 
into plasters, applied on walls and turns back 
into limestone. Learn how clays from our own 
soils can be transformed into finishes with 
beautiful colors and rich, sensuous textures. 
Lime and clay plasters can even be sculpted or 
carved to enhance artistic expression.

  Earthen plasters are easy and fun to work with, 
easy to clean up, simple to repair and are 
completely recyclable too!

The World Health Organization reports that 30% of 
all US homes contain toxic levels sufficient to 
create environmental illness.

Natural plasters are completely non-toxic.

Concrete production is responsible for 8% of the 
human contribution to greenhouse gas emissions as 
each pound of concrete produced adds one pound of 
greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere.

For an average house, if you use lime plaster 
instead of portland cement, you will save between 
5,000 and 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per 
house.

This presentation will be held on Thursday, 
August 13, 2009, 5:30 to 7:00 PM at the EcoLogic 
Life at 109 S. Montgomery St. in Ojai. This event 
is free to the public.
