Cob slideshow tour report

[Renewables at aol.com]

More folks like Robert are needed in the Midwest too. I know his slide show
would be a hit at the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair in Wisconsin with over
12,000 attendees over a three day period, all hungry for a better way to live.
This is an exciting time for cob.

 Hello all,
 
 I would just like to throw my support behind Robert's slideshow. I was glad
 I saw his presentation when he was last here in Vancouver. This is a must
 see presentation. I found it to be one of the best presentations on natural
 building I've seen. Robert's discussion of building and politics is is both
 very witty and engaging.  Hopefully you will be able to help Robert
 organize this tour as I feel this his is a very important message for as
 many people as we can get to see and hear.
