With its small army of volunteers, the Fields of Fuel film crew descended on Main Street, passing out buttons and stickers and educating festival goers about biodiesel and its potential to relieve US dependency on foreign oil days before the movie's world premiere. While most people were admittedly confused about biodiesel (is it made from used cooking grease? where do you buy it? how do you make your car run on it?), nearly everyone was enthusiastic about the idea of using biofuels.
In fact, talk of global warming and what people could do personally to make a difference was overheard all over town. From Woody Harrelson (who is featured in Fields of Fuel) and Emily Blunt leading discussions about biodiesel at the Cadillac Lounge to Guns 'n Roses drummer Matt Soren stopping by to check out the Veggie Van to Absolut Vodka screening environmental films about cooling the globe to Josh's late afternoon appearance on Park City TV, the topic of renewable fuels seemed to be on everyone's radar.
