Is Sacramento Greening?

02 Aug '08 from Heather Duffin

I live in the greater Sacramento area and I've recently learned about straw bales and earthen plasters. I'm completely in love with the beautiful simplicity of using the earth right beneath our feet to construct our dwellings and I'm looking for a community of people to promote this with. I searched for contractors with expertise and the picking is slim to nill from what I found. Is there not a market for this here, or is this one of the beautiful situations where the supply has not reached the demand?

If anyone from this area reads this and would like to start a small company in earthen plaster artistry, please contact me because I'd really like to brainstorm with you and possibly get something going.

Earthen plaster...

Hi Heather,

I'm out in Amador County but I also spend time around Sac. I would love to talk to you about your thoughts on greening, natural building, and entrepreneuring. I have worked on a few buildings and I know some people... I have some ideas in this direction also.

Mike


Another thing

I just read about you in your website and it seems you and my husband could help eachother. He's an environmental consultant with ECORP Consulting, but he could really benefit from freelance consulting work and it seems you may need the help of a consultant from time to time considering the type of lending you do. For instance, he could help draw up environmental impact reports, or help spot potential environmental problems that could possibly stop construction.


Great

I'd love to talk to you. I have alot of ideas too but given my lack of experience in anything I'd like to do I'm feeling overwhelmed. You could help me greatly!


Heather, give me a call...

Heather,

I'm not ignoring you, It's just that this site didn't tell me that you had replied. Sorry.

I'd love to talk to you and your husband. One of the best things about natural building is that it comes rather naturally. Don't feel overwhelmed. Give me a call (916) 802-5896
