San Rafael, CA - June 3, 2008 Marin County-based public relations and marketing firm, TOBIN & Associates, has been selected by the Blue Turtle Roofing and the Paul Benson Painting companies to design and implement marketing programs. Blue Turtle Roofing, the San Francisco Bay Area’s first “green” certified roofing company and Paul Benson Company, pioneered the usage of low VOC (volatile organic compounds) in the area. The companies have built their businesses on a foundation of sound environmental and ecological practices. Both are owned by Paul Benson, a pioneer in environmental oriented operations in the roofing and painting industries. Founded in 1981, Paul Benson Painting (www.paulbensonpainting.com) provides services to homeowners associations (HOA’s), commercial buildings and individual residences in San Francisco and the North Bay Region. It uses paints that are rated low VOC. “Conventional paints contain high levels of VOCs that produce a breathable gas when applied,” Benson said. “Because the VOCs diminish air quality and present health concerns, we work only with paints that are produced by alternative manufacturing techniques to create low- and no-VOC paints that release no, or minimal VOC pollutants, and are virtually odor free.” GoSolarMarin (www.gosolarmarin.com) is a Marin County coalition that has helped change the pricing structure and availability of alternative (solar) energy installations for homes and businesses in Marin County.
