@ CELLspace, 633 Florida St., San Francisco (19th & Florida, 1 blk W of

DO YOUR PART FOR GLOBAL WARMING!!!!

The U.S. spends 60-80 billion dollars a year defending oil interests in the 
gulf region.  Every year, U.S. businesses throw away enough waste vegetable 
oil to replace 10% of the petroleum products consumed in the country.

Be a part of the solution.  Drive your car on a renewable resource: 
vegetable oil.

While an ordinary diesel engine can run on biodiesel (vegetable oil that 
has been processed with lye & methanol), that same engine can be converted 
to use pure filtered vegetable oil with no additional processing or toxic 
substances.

Burning vegetable oil or biodiesel in your engine reduces emissions 
dramatically & is carbon neutral, in fact more carbon is absorbed in the 
process of making vegetable oil than is released from the tailpipe!

Come learn how it s done from leaders in the sustainability movement, Capra 
J'neva of the Permaculture Institute of Northern California, Kingsley Chen 
of EcoEnergies, Scott Beckett of Caritas Creek & SPECIAL GUEST: Girl Mark 
of DIY Skillshare teaching biodiesel making!  During the course we will do 
a hands-on conversion of a Toyota truck from start to finish, learn to make 
small batches of biodiesel, and get the facts about alternative fuel 
emissions and viability.
