I try to post a current listing of workshops or events relating to biodiesel and SVo in California:
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/norcal-biodiesel-events I'm also working on a website which will also have more of these listings in a non-list format, pretty much what Murdoch suggested. It should be up in a few weeks. other sources of biodiesel events listings: additional events listings sometimes turn up at www.veggieavenger. com/avengerboard and several other forums (http://biodiesel.infopop.cc has a separate events forum that doesn't get used very often, several local biodiesel project websites (such as boulderbiodiesel.com and berkeleybiodiesel.com) list events, and of course all the lists like yahoo biofuel and biodiesel lists sometimes recieve events listings from various posters. forums.biodieselnow.com has a good regional connections forum for regional US biodiesel activity, and it's anothjer source of info about get-togethers and workshops in the local areas. And there are also a few regional biodiesel groups on yahoogroups... --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, "TJ Ferreira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Curious where Girl Mark does these workshops?
