Dear Deborah, Danny, Whitney, Eric, and Derek,
I hope you are well and are having a great start to the new year. I found
your name on the Focus the Nation website, and I am contacting you about a
program I have recently gotten involved with called BioTour. A couple of
good friends of mine bought a large school bus, converted its engine to run
on waste vegetable oil, equipped the bus with solar panels, and are
road-tripping across the country promoting alternative energies and
sustainability.
We are about to begin our third tour across the United States. I have been
selected as the spring booking coordinator, when we will travel through the South and into the Southwest of the US. We wanted to know if your group,
school, or community might be interested in joining us in raising awareness
and connecting new people and communities with the sustainable energy movement. We will be in your area in mid-February, depending on our booking schedule, and we would love to hold an event with you at your community!
BioTour brings people throughout the US together for exploration and celebration of a sustainable way of living. We provide informative, interactive presentations about climate change, peak oil, putting those issues in a context relevant to the lives of every American, demonstrations of our state-of-the-art vegetable conversion system and photovoltaic array, green/fun transportation, event promotion and more. Our co-directors, Ethan Burke and Alan Palm, are great, very knowledgeable about the materials, and have quite a bit of experience teaching about these issues.
If you'd like to check out our site, go to www.biotour.org.
We'd love to hear from you and hopefully we'll drive our veggie-powered bus
through your community in a month or so. We hold a number of different
event options, from formal presentations, demonstrations on our bus, community gatherings, to night tours, parties on the bus, and even camping trips (on sunny days!) Please feel free to contact us about any questions you might have or to get on our booking schedule.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Best,
Fernando Ausin & the BioTour staff

PS
If your group isn't interested or can't coordinate it to fit your schedules,
would you know of someone in your school or community we could speak to
about organizing an event? Any help you could provide us with is highly
appreciated!
