Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[<activism98201@verizon.net>]

Many thanks to Paul for keeping us aware of this.  I feel inclined to, but it 
so infuriates me that I'd be doing nothing but frothing here; and that would 
be stupid because folks here absolutely get the enormity of all of this.

I'd like to point folks at a great DVD for exposing the myths of biofuels:

http://www.sfbayoil.org/sfoa/myths/index.html

I obtained (paid for) two copies of the DVD, and have ended up circulating 
something like 35 copies around (this is encouraged).  I used some of this 
material in my recent panel presentation (I was the only one to utilize a 
slide presentation), and am forever grateful to the producer of the DVD, 
Dennis Brumm, and to the excellent presentation by David Fridley (his 
presentation makes me look like a kindergartener!).

NOTE: My presentation basically kicked the "pro" biofuels folks' behinds.  I 
had the audience really being aggressive toward the "pro" folks.  Of course, 
none of this would have been possible if not from the great support of this 
group- you all are some of the best examples of what's right in this world.
