Shelter Network.  It studies & documents Natural, Sustainable & Green 
Building structures.  It provides consulting & resource information for 
people wanting to build environmentally  responsible buildings.  It offers 
advocacy & education to builders, inspectors, politicians, insurers & banks 
about Natural Building. It's members form task forces to study specific 
issues.  Smart Shelter Network exists to document, analyze, promote and 
educate its citizens about Natural Building in their area. Learn how a 
similar network can be formed in our region.
