[GSBN] Just how big is natural building?

[Dusty Szymanski]

Bruce and the rest of the world,

COSBA is Currently about 24 paying members and a contact list of over 500.
We are working on rebuilding our memberships by reconnecting with old
members and bringing in the new recruits with greater service and support of
current  needs. We are based out of Gunnison, Colorado.

We are very excited about the upcoming International Straw Builders
conference and all that it holds, surely a 'not to miss' event. We look
forward to seeing you all!

The future isn't what it used to be!

Cheers

Dusty Szymanski

Executive Director, COSBA

Howdy, folks --

 

Anyone else out there wonder just how many people are knowledgeable about,
interested in, and/or wild about natural building?

 

Me, too, and I'd like to start to map the territory for a group conversation
at the upcoming International Straw Bale Building Conference
<http://www.strawbaleconference.com/>  in Colorado in September.  Which will
of course really be about natural building in general.

 

Here's just a first pass.  I would really appreciate if you could fill me in
on what's happening in your area or country.  

 

Organization                            location or base
Membership

(however "organized"
(Even if you don't have "members", how many people receive

you may or may not be)
your mailings / ever wrote you a check?)

I KNOW I'm forgetting organizations even here in North America, much less on
the other side of various ponds, so please help me here.  Results, once
collated, will of course be public.

 

Thanks!
