This past weekend, we were in Telluride, Colorado screening Fields of Fuel!
The day began with a biodiesel car parade at 10:30 in the morning with local biodiesel enthusiasts! The parade ushered our presence at the festival in Telluride. We were excited to be in a city that cares so much about the environment. Here are some telling statistics:
*In 2003, a bus in the town's fleet was converted to run on 100% biodiesel fuel thanks to local citizens and a $17,500 Colorado Renewable Energy grant.
*Telluride's biodiesel bus is the first 100% biodiesel powered public transportation bus in the United States.
We completely packed out the theatre at Telluride! With seating capacity of nearly 500, people were standing in the back for an opportunity to see Fields of Fuel.
Following the screening, the parade continued to an Ice Cream Social. Everyone was encouraged to walk or take biodiesel transportation to the Town Square and enjoy some ice cream sundaes.
What's next for the Biodiesel Revolution?
We're heading to Jackson, Wyoming for the Jackson Hole Film Festival!
