All of these will include a $4 (for copy costs!) 35-page handout about making biodiesel, which is primarily based on info from the JourneytoForever website. > > 1. First, I'll be doing something informal in Missoula Montana on Thursday afternoon, July 18.

I'll be unofficially (ie, I'm not teaching an official workshop or anything, though I'll have my gear and will be glad to show it off to people) at SolWest in John Day Oregon, for the Oregon Biodiesel Meeting on July 27. SolWest is a renewable energy fair happening July 26-28 and a LOT of biodieselers are supposed to be there. It's the first biodiesel get-together in the western US I think- sounds like a good event. I imagine a lot of us are going to be there with our equipment and it'll be a good place to see different people's processors and methods. I think SolWest has a website but I don't know it- do a search or something. > > 3. I'll be at the Vashon Island Earth Fair in Washington State on August 2-4 doing a biodiesel workshop with Mike Pelly. We have very different processors and it should be good to show off the two opposite ranges of possibilities (his is very fancy, mine is the Cheapo Weldless low-tech version) . For more info about the Fair, see www.islandearthfair.org . I don't know the exact times and days of the workshop yet. > > 4. I will be teaching a biodiesel class and Capra J'Neva is teaching an straight vegetable oil fuels class (she's a great teacher and is very honest about the ups and downs of SVO fuels- gives a good balanced perspective!) at the All things Organic Festival at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds in Boonville CA on August 10. I don't know the exact times of workshops yet either. > > 5. I will be teaching a four-saturday intensive biodiesel class very soon through the Ecology Center in Berkeley- either in later August/September, or in October- I'll post more info very soon. > > 6. I am also teaching biodiesel at (and organizing) the DIY Skillshare Conference September 26-29 in Berkeley CA. Capra J'Neva is covering SVO fuels for this four-day workshop. The conference is at the Crucible metalwork school on Murray St (just off of San Pablo and Ashby) . We will also have workshops on solar electric, possibly methane digesters, solar cooking, possibly alcohol fuels, and 60-80 more free classes. For more info: > > a. we don't have a website cuz we're actually Luddites at heart > > b. But we do believe in email lists. Go figure. To subscribe to our announcement-only list, send a blank email to diyskillshare- [EMAIL PROTECTED] then you can look at the archives on the yahoogroups website and see listings of what last year's classes looked like (we don't have a complete listing for this year yet). > > We are also looking for people to come teach energy and sustainability related workshops or presentations. > > To contact Skillshare people directly, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > 7. And we are still working on organizing a Biodiesel Homebrewers' Conference to be held in May of 2003 in the SF Bay Area... It'll be three or four days like the Skillshare and it will be either free or under $20/day, depending on our venue. Email me for more info, or to come teach or present something. Vendors of biodiesel gear welcome. I think (I hope I'm right) we'll probably get a webpage on JourneytoForever soon, once we have more information to post. I am very much looking for local biodieselers to work on this with, and looking for suggestions from computer geeks on how to make this conference somehow inclusive of the 'virtual' biodiesel community. > > For more information, email me at > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > or write me at > > Skillshare > > po box 4034 > > Bekeley CA 94704 USA > > > > Respect, > > girl Mark > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Do You Yahoo!? > New!
