Subject: [Sustainable-biodiesel] BALLE is coming up
Message-ID: <007701c7861e$dcd16600$0202a8c0@Michael>

Hi Folks, 

 

At the wrap-up at the 2007 Sustainable Biodiesel Summit we discussed meeting
again at the BALLE conference in Berkeley, CA 5/31-6/2
(http://www.livingeconomies.org/events/conference07/index_html). SaraHope
has arranged for a Sustainable Biodiesel session on Saturday followed by
dinner. We have been working with the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance and
look forward to more fully integrating our groups. BALLE is a chance to
reconnect, pick up the momentum from February, and set priorities for the
rest of the year. Given the setting among the BALLE conference attendees,
this is also an opportunity to connect with the consumer. Needless to say,
they are a critical part of the equation. We can discuss strategy for
sustainable biodiesel with end-users who support local, sustainable
businesses. We also have a chance to learn from others who have successfully
advocated for sustainability in their respective industries.

 

Please help us by taking these actions by Thursday April 26th. They will
probably take you 45 seconds to complete:

1. Email me and let me know:

a. if you are thinking about attending BALLE (the number of industry folks
present will inform the agenda)

b. what you would like to see addressed here (even if you are not able to
attend)

c. if you are interested in helping plan this session (even if you can't
make the conference, we could use your help)

 

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you,

Emily Bockian Landsburg

 

PS - Congratulations to Bob McCall on the opening of Standard Biodiesel,
using local WVO, aiming to be off-grid in a couple years.
