Traction

Don’t know much about biodiesel? Why not open yourself up to a new experience… at a local renewable energy co-op?

Spend an afternoon with your fellow bio-curious Tractivists at Piedmont Biofuels on April Fuels Day… ahem, April Fools Day. We’ll meet in Durham and catch a ride on a biodiesel bus to the local plant to learn more about this alternative energy source.

DETAILS
What: An April Fuels Day Adventure — Tour of Piedmont Biofuels Coop and processing plant
Date: Sunday, April 1st
Time: Bio-bus departs at 11:45am and returns by 5:00pm
Where: Durham –> Pittsboro –> Durham
Cost: FREE! (Donations are appreciated)

We’ll provide lunch from the Chatham Marketplace, plus excellent conversation with other Tractivists during the busride, including two urban transportation planners: Tobin (who, along with Sarah, is co-lead on this event): an alternative fuels planner and Jennifer who does bike / pedestrian planning, plus climate change activists and simply bio-curious folks like me — all free of charge!

Tour time (including the fascinating and closed-to-the-public processing plant) plus lunch will last about 3 hours and we should be back in Durham by 5:00pm. We’ll all walk away with a few changes we can make in our daily lives to help the environment. And maybe some of us will decide to reform our fossil foolish ways and switch to biodiesel!

This excellent fuelish adventure is brought to you by Traction, Greenway Transit and the Triangle Clean Cities Coalition.

Spaces are limited. Contact sarah/at\getTraction/dot\org to reserve your lunch and seat on the bio-bus (or to let her know you plan to meet the group at the plant).
