NEW LINKS THAT I ADMIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The era of toxic painting is over!
This news was hard for me to believe at first. For two decades I watched the painting industry move from hazardous oils to less harmful (but still toxic) latex. During this time I was exploring natural alternatives such as clay, milk, lime, flour and linseed oil. But today we are witnessing the birth of high tech, high-performance, ZERO TOXIC paints, stains and finishes. And guess what? They work!
Green products are revolutionizing the industry
No longer are eco products limited to interior, low-traffic applications. There are now nontoxic paints for interior AND exterior surfaces. These products are durable and waterproof, including sealers for: decks, shingles, concrete patios, brick, stone, tile, stucco, driveways, walkways and landscape borders. There are epoxies, urethanes and non-skid coatings for docks and pool areas. You can even coat the concrete lining of the pool itself.
Ecos Paints, an earth-friendly paint manufacturer in the UK, has developed a paint containing particles of nickel, which block and reflect microwave, X-ray and computer emissions. This is great news for people who work in hospitals and busy offices. The most exciting news in the painting industry is the recent development of solar paint. It's not on the market yet, but the next time you paint your house, you may be saving on your electric bill! "
