DESCRIPTION: Biofuels-enthusiasts from all over will join community members, students, 
 performers, cooperatives, consumers, farmers, advocacy groups and small 
 businesses at the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC), May 21-22, 
 2005 for the Biofuels Community Conference and Car Show. The two day event 
 features small group discussions, workshops, sustainability circus 
 performances, music, local and organic meals, and a car show including 
 everything from diesel schools buses fueled on vegetable oil to 2-stroke 
 gasoline chainsaws fueled on alcohol.  The event is hosted by Homes On 
 Wheels, http://www.biofuel.coop, students from the UCSC Education for 
 Sustainable Living Program, and the Reserach Foundation for Community, 
 Ecology and Local Self-Reliance.  The conference will be run using Open 
 Space Technology, a facilitation method that enables self-organizing groups 
 of all sizes to deal with complex issues in a short period of time. The 
 conference framework enables participants to create their own program of 
 workshops, presentations and discussion groups around the central theme: 
 The Future of Biofuels.  The Conference is at UCSC Kresge College from 8:00 
 am – 4:00 pm Saturday and 8:00 am – 12:00 pm Sunday. Participants will 
 identify issues which are important, and develop action steps for 
 addressing them.  The Car Show will convene from 12:00 pm – 3:30 pm at 
 the UCSC North Remote Parking Lot. Participants are invited to attend 
 workshops, and vote in the Car Show Awards based on the vehicles and 
 persons in attendance. Awards will be presented with a Ceremony to begin 
 the Sustainability Circus in the Park, 3:30 pm – Sunset, featuring a 
 circus arts, a bicycle parade, barbeque, music, and an all-ages vaudeville 
 puppet show performance by the Big Tadoo Puppet Crew at the UCSC Camper 
 Park.  Waste will be eliminated through conscious cooperation between 
 participants and the many hosting organizations. Reusable dishware is 
 available from the Merrill Pottery Coop, recyclables and organic matter are 
 collected by the Student Environmental Center's Waste Prevention team and 
 composted at the on-campus Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food 
 Systems, and food is sourced from local farmers, thus decreasing waste in 
 transportation. Additionally, participants are encouraged to locally source 
 their fuels by pre-registering for the community biofuels rideshare board 
 and guest housing options, and through choosing to bike, walk or bus.  
 Everyone is invited to attend. More information and pre-registration 
 instructions are available at http://www.biofuel.coop. Voluntary donations 
 are appreciated. Suggested donation is $40 per day, however, no one will be 
 turned away for lack of funds. \n
