Hi Everybody,      (sorry about the cross postings)=20

I recently showed my slide presentation entitled "Natural Building and =
Social Justice" eight times in eight nights all over the Northwest.  It =
was seen by almost 500 people.  It was enthusiastically received =
everywhere I went.

I would like to thank the following people and organizations for setting =
up events in their cities:

Chris Stafford & Doug Milholland of the NW EcoBuilding Guild in Port =
Townsend, WA

Moyra Stewart in Victoria, BC

Elke Cole and the Bar None Cafe in Courtney, BC

Ian Marcuse and others with the Down to Earth Building Bee in Vancouver, =
BC

Kahlia Root set up an event at Bellevue Community College near Seattle, =
WA

Tom St Louis & Sandra Fugate of the NW EcoBuilidng Guild in Olympia, WA

Thanks to everyone that helped!

The high point of the tour was my first night in Vancouver, BC.  From =
what I could tell, the Down to Earth Building Bee is a tiny grass roots =
environmental group.  Their main focus seems to be helping to build a =
cob structure on Indian land in Bella Coola, Canada.  They set up three =
events.  The first one packed a rather large hall with about 250 people. =
 The second night I presented to a cohousing community where about 25 =
people attended.  The final presentation in Vancouver was at La Quena =
Coffeehouse.  It was bulging at the seams with what must have been 100 =
people.  The success of my trip to Vancouver speaks to what a small =
group of committed activists can do when they set their minds to it.

My next plan is to tour California.  Any environmental or other contacts =
that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
