Urgent: Tell King County to Plan for a Better Future
-------------------------------------------------------------
In King County, we love our Puget Sound, local farms, clean rivers and lakes, snow-capped peaks.
That's why we support smart growth policies and hold local governments accountable to the Growth Management Act.
So when it comes to setting the countywide framework for county and city smart growth plans and regulations, King County needs to go beyond the past by setting a strong foundation for the future.
Location
Renton City Hall
1055 Grady Way Council Conferencing Center, 7th Floor
Food vs. Fuel
Does biodiesel production and use REALLY affect our food supply? What concerns are valid, and what lobbies are exploiting this subject? Were the high commodity prices in 2008 due to their use in biofuel production, or speculators manipulating the market? Soy is grown for cattle feed, and the oil is a byproduct. So isn’t using it for biodiesel environmentally sound?
Biodiesel Use in Aviation
Boeing is doing research and performing tests of biodiesel use in aviation. The Department of Defense is also doing research and performing tests in aviation use of biodiesel. What is the status and when can we expect to have our flight to New York fueled with biodiesel?
We'll have Hymotion Plug in Hybrids for test drive! Test drives will be on a first come, first serve basis. RSVP today! - please call (425) 820 - 4549 or email us
Test drivers who average MPG will be entered into a drawing for an electric bike!
