I founded the Healthy Building Network (HBN) five years ago because replacing unhealthy building materials with greener products can dramatically decrease -- and even reverse -- profound impacts on the environment and human health. Today I am writing to ask you to take a moment to review our accomplishments and support our first-ever fundraising drive -- with special premium gifts -- to continue and expand our work. http://www.healthybuilding.net/support/ The Healthy Building Network is the only independent public interest group that focuses exclusively on green building issues. You may know us best as publisher of the Healthy Building News. Our bi-weekly electronic newsletter provides perspective and analysis on the green building movement, and offers readers the opportunity to take action on important issues. We also led the successful effort to end retail sales of arsenic-treated wood, eliminating the largest source of arsenic exposure for most American children, and transforming 80% of the $4 billion a year pressure treated wood market. As a founding partner of the Green Guide for Health Care, HBN worked with leading experts in health care to create the first sustainable design toolkit tailored to the specific needs of their facilities. Many supporters tell us that the most important thing we do is speak out against greenwash and stand up to the destructive influence that some trade associations exert on green building standards. We can do this because we are financially independent. That is why we ask for your financial support. Please help us meet the increasing demand for our research, analysis and reporting by making a tax-deductible contribution today. http://www.healthybuilding.net/support/ After you donate, support this effort by telling your friends, family and co-workers about the important work HBN is doing. http://www.healthybuilding.net/support/tellafriend/ Thanks to the generosity of the Kendeda Sustainability Fund of the Tides Foundation, our first $5,000 in contributions will be more than doubled through a matching grant. Contribute today and you can help HBN receive two dollars in matching funds for every dollar you give! Give a one time gift of at least $100 or contribute to HBN's new monthly giving program with a pledge of at least $5 per month for one year and you can also receive your choice of special gifts, including the new DVD edition of the award winning documentary BLUE VINYL and a variety of unique books. http://www.healthybuilding.net/support/premiums/ Act now and get two free gifts! Be one of the first 25 people to pledge $5 or more to our monthly giving program, and receive a complimentary copy of BLUE VINYL in addition to the book of your choice, together worth more than $50. I believe that the work of the Healthy Building Network expresses the highest principles of the green building movement. Together we can change business as usual. Thank you in advance for your support. Sincerely,
Bill Walsh, Founder
PS - Making a monthly pledge puts more of your money to work on the issues you care about by drastically reducing administrative costs, but no contribution is too small and all donations will help us more than double your gift with a generous matching grant. http://www.healthybuilding.net/support/
