"What do you call a lawyer who helps people share, cooperate, barter, foster local economies, and build sustainable communities? That sounds like the beginning of a lawyer joke, but actually, it's the beginning of new field of law practice..." Janelle Orsi
~

W e all want a more sustainable society, but what are the legal implications and changes needed to move society beyond the ongoing legal/illegal dance of sustainability and the challenges of emerging local economies?

Please join Jenny Kassan & Janelle Orsi from the Sustainable Law Center (SELC) for a stimulating discussion of sharing economies, collaborative consumption, social enterprise, and other intriguing and promising trends affecting our local economies and livelihoods.
Urban agriculture, community-owned enterprises with locally raised capital, local currencies, barter economies, worker-owned cooperatives, intentional communities, car sharing, these are many of the key ingredients in the transition to more sustainable local economies. What are the possibilities, the challenges, and the practical and legal barriers? How might these trends transform our communities and what steps can we all take to catalyze change?

The evening talk takes place on Friday, June 3, 7-9:30pm, at the Fe Bland Forum auditorium, Santa Barbara City College West Campus, 721 Cliff Drive CA. 93109 , Santa Barbara. Donation $10 general/$5 students & seniors; no reservations/pay at the door.

Hi there guys I have used a biogas digester off and on for years. They use them on poor farms built by undereducated farmers in India and they make there biogas plants out of brick. I had kids and so I dug a pit and placed the tank I used in there. Even with five kids and a neighbor hood full of vandals I never had a problem. Bio gas is very forgiving, but even when the kids fooled with my system I never had any problems. Those kids heard form my kids that I was cooking and heating my water with farts. They opened valves and fooled with every valve they could they ripped off the hoses and pipes to smell the "farts"! and no explosions!They drained my gas tank several times to the air. Finally I called all the kids and parents in the neighbor hood and we had a "class" on the biogas system I had and finally the little turkeys quit screwing around with my biogas tanks I also fenced it off to limit access.

Bio gas is explosive but not as bad as I have heard it was, and if any system should have exploded mine should have ,but it didn't Don't worry about it. Place the storage tank in a pit and fence it off, with chain link. If it does explode the explosion is directed upward .
