Ever heard of Bill Ding’s Eco Paint? I am guessing not. For the record, (and I feel compelled to list them all) Bill Ding’s Eco Paint is a premium quality re-purposed and recycled latex paint. It is made from product manufactured and sold by the best paint companies in the world: Dunn-Edwards, Sherwin Williams, Glidden, Pratt & Lambert, Southwestern, Dutch Boy, Valspar, Ace, Frazee, True Value, Pioneer, Benjamin Moore, Behr, Olympic, and a multitude of other paint companies. All of the BEST! Join us to learn about how this public-private partnership between the Beacon Group (a Tucson-based organization that creates job opportunities for people with disabilities) and the City of Tucson Environmental Services Department resulted in an entrepreneurial venture that allows the public to buy premium, eco-friendly paint at a low cost at a place called Gersons! You have to join me to hear the details around this model where everybody wins. This show made possible due to the generous support of City of Tucson Environmental Services Department.
