Green Roof Safari will more effectively cater to group interests in the next fiscal year. The essential nature of the study tour will remain intact, providing access to countless and diverse projects, meetings with local experts, and extensive information and technology transfer facilitated by knowledgeable, multi-lingual guides. Given the expertise and professional network which define the study tour, group interests can be tailored with flexibility. Reutte in Tyrol, Austria – August 1, 2009 The unique educational-consulting service Green Roof Safari is pleased to announce a new strategy for its experiential study tours. Provided with united interest, Green Roof Safari will prepare itineraries matching the interests and needs of small groups. Geographically, the study tour will focus on the Upper Rhine region (Frankfurt to Basel). According to Christine Thüring, Co-founder and Manager of Green Roof Safari, “this area includes many green municipalities, the core of the German green roof industry, and some of Europe’s most important research institutes.” Moreover, this region contains a tremendous diversity of projects, including solar architecture, vast extensive roofs, living roofs, award-winning roof gardens, and much more. Green Roof Safari has the creative capacity to answer questions and interests thanks to its strengths of multi-lingual translation, inherent expertise, project access, and a supportive network. As substantiated by the 2008 study tour, participants come away with experiential knowledge, broadened horizons, detailed documentation and valuable contacts. In addition to the intense professional focus, the study tour endeavours to include cultural jaunts and aperitifs with fantastic views. And with so many projects to choose from, Co-Founder Jörg Breuning points out that “accompanying spouses will have the chance for independent sightseeing in several cities.” Due to the current economic situation, Green Roof Safari will cancel its September 2009 tour. Given enough interest, a Spring 2010 tour will be considered. For more information or to schedule an interview with a representative, please contact us at join@greenroofsafari.com. | ||

We are a family operated Canadian company which has developed a cutting edge new green building material we call Hempcrete, composed primarily of hemp chips, lime, and sand. This mixture is poured into forms to create beautiful, strong walls and floors with an impressive list of additional benefits. (Please see www.hempcrete.com) Furthermore, these hemp chips are currently agricultural waste which we are proving can readily be monetized and create new jobs and opportunities in green building. We are completing our second house using Hempcrete, which will be a showcase for the product and enable us to bring it to a larger audience. We are promoting Hempcrete internationally, and can offer sponsorship and speaking opportunities to your firm. Together with an Irish hemp builder/contractor Steve Allin, we are sponsoring an event in Ireland this September, and are seeking support by way of sponsors, presenters and attendees. The response has been amazing from sponsors, and we have a number of big names already on board. At the first two levels of sponsorship, there will be only one sponsor accepted at that level for each area of industry. We are bringing together some of the best and brightest minds in Europe and the quality of information and contacts will be second to none. This event can do great things for the natural building industry, and therefore, for the environment. Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. Start: 11:30 am

Green Roof Safari will more effectively cater to group interests in the next fiscal year. The essential nature of the study tour will remain intact, providing access to countless and diverse projects, meetings with local experts, and extensive information and technology transfer facilitated by knowledgeable, multi-lingual guides. Given the expertise and professional network which define the study tour, group interests can be tailored with flexibility. Reutte in Tyrol, Austria – August 1, 2009 The unique educational-consulting service Green Roof Safari is pleased to announce a new strategy for its experiential study tours. Provided with united interest, Green Roof Safari will prepare itineraries matching the interests and needs of small groups. Geographically, the study tour will focus on the Upper Rhine region (Frankfurt to Basel). According to Christine Thüring, Co-founder and Manager of Green Roof Safari, “this area includes many green municipalities, the core of the German green roof industry, and some of Europe’s most important research institutes.” Moreover, this region contains a tremendous diversity of projects, including solar architecture, vast extensive roofs, living roofs, award-winning roof gardens, and much more. Green Roof Safari has the creative capacity to answer questions and interests thanks to its strengths of multi-lingual translation, inherent expertise, project access, and a supportive network. As substantiated by the 2008 study tour, participants come away with experiential knowledge, broadened horizons, detailed documentation and valuable contacts. In addition to the intense professional focus, the study tour endeavours to include cultural jaunts and aperitifs with fantastic views. And with so many projects to choose from, Co-Founder Jörg Breuning points out that “accompanying spouses will have the chance for independent sightseeing in several cities.” Due to the current economic situation, Green Roof Safari will cancel its September 2009 tour. Given enough interest, a Spring 2010 tour will be considered. For more information or to schedule an interview with a representative, please contact us at join@greenroofsafari.com. (all day)
