I will give you a quick background on our project.We are planning on having our first sample home built in the Philadelphia area.We have corresponded with President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Senator Arlen Specter and Representative Joe Hoeffel to make them aware of our progress and goals to further publicize our project and get interest from the visiting delegates. We have contacted over 150 major corporations to join with us by either advertising on our website or funding us to get started. We have received only about 25 replies. The only funding we have gotten in the 9 months is 2 coupons from Ben & Jerry's for a pint of free ice cream.We have been told that we do not fit into their "target market" marketing programs. Saving the planet and bridging the "digital divide" are not priorities for corporate America. On the positive slant our website has been visited by people from over 106 nations in the last 9 weeks. College Professors have let us know they will be using our site as a teaching resource. By our web logs we have noticed that across the country and world several K12 schools are accessing our site several times a day, so we are assuming we have become a resource there as well.As you can see with the only funding we have recieved,two coupons for pints of ice cream of Ben & Jerry, we have become a resource world wide. Our visitors are from the scientific and educational communities.With funding we could reach the "regular"people of the world- the ones that should know about this information. Can you imagine the possibilities what solcomhouse could do with funding? If You need any more information or have any questions please e-mail or call me and I will forward more information.
