As part of our continued efforts to empower a broad-based
constituency of youth, everyday people, and activists to think
critically about petroleum dependence and false solutions to climate
justice, Green Guerrillas Youth Media Tech Collective presents Green
Grease Guzzlers—a teen-centered, fun, and informative Blockumentary
that offers an unconventional “how-to” view for those interested in
making biodiesel and learning more about the veggie oil conversion
process for diesel-engine vehicles.
A story about alternative and sustainable transportation, this
excerpt will showcase Green Guerrillas ona move, making our
collective’s transportation more "eco-friendly" with the conversion
of our 1990 Ford Econoline diesel bus into a lean and green
biodiesel/waste veggie oil machine. Working with a local “Organic
Mechanic” and Ithaca Biodiesel Cooperative, Green Guerrillas “get
greasy” learning the two ways waste vegetable oil from restaurants
can be used to fuel today’s modern diesel vehicles—then we take a
trip!
Celebrate Spring with Green Guerrillas!
Join us for this special community preview screening... meet our
bus... and help us kick off our Green Grease Guzzlers 2010-2011
Biodiesel/Veggie Oil Bus Tour!
The WORLD PREMIERE for Green Grease Guzzlers will take place in June
2010 in Detroit.
About Green Guerrillas...
Green Guerrillas Youth Media Tech Collective is an innovative,
grassroots job-training program in Ithaca, New York, which values
teen’s creative insights and capacities to transform our reality as
leaders and participants for change. Green Guerrillas study
documentary and narrative film making; make our own media from
posters to movies; do outreach at community events; advocate for
equitable living and learning environments; get our “hands dirty”
learning about renewable energy; and, analyze important social,
political, economic and environmental issues which affect our lives
as low-income youth of color. As demonstrated through our work
producing 3 full-length films, and several shorts, Green Guerrillas
recognize and expose the role mainstream media plays in promoting
sweat shops over sustainable style, genetically modified crops over
locally-grown organic foods, and pollution and prisons over
sustainability and social change. By connecting the dots between
the same ideological approaches which criminalize communities;
support a school-to-prison pipeline; exploit labor and land; and,
pollute the air, water, and soil we all collectively need for
survival (do you know about hydrofracking?), Green Guerrillas
Blockumentaries showcase stories of sustainability that challenge
the status quo.

S.T.A.M.P. was established in 2005 in response to the frequency with
which young people are referred to juvenile and adult court
systems. S.T.A.M.P. challenges pollution, criminalization,
exploitation, and incarceration by encouraging self-respect,
empowerment, leadership, and self-determination among young people,
adults, and families most affected by criminal justice and
environmental policies which disregard individual needs, erode
community assets, and undermine planet security.
