Community
Interest Meeting and Presentation
The
Green Guild Biodiesel Cooperative, a startup nonprofit based in the DC metro
area, will be holding a community interest meeting and presentation at the Takoma Park Community Center
(Azalea Room) in Takoma Park,
MD on Saturday April 5th
from 3 to 5pm.
The
Green Guild was started by two recent University
of Maryland graduates in partnership
with Biodiesel University
and the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship. They will be presenting plans for the
creation of a cooperative business that produces and distributes biodiesel fuel
from waste vegetable oil to communities in the DC area. The presentation is
intended for local community leaders, those among the existing biodiesel
community and prospective members. You
will have a chance to tour our retrofitted school bus Biotanker and ask
questions of the coordinators. Green
Guild is seeking founding members as well as those interested in volunteering
on a steering committee to help get this project off the ground as soon as May
2008. Come learn about this exciting venture and find out how you can get
involved.
Mission
Statement:
The Green Guild Biodiesel
Cooperative is a member-based, non-profit, social entrepreneurship venture in
the business of producing and distributing quality biodiesel fuel to the Washington DC
metro area. We aim to build alternatives to economic structures based on
scarcity by providing environmentally sustainable and equitable energy that
empowers our community to reduce its dependence on foreign oil, mitigate its
impact on the climate and environment, and strengthen the local economy. We
will use biodiesel as a teaching tool to educate consumers, youth and the
community about climate change, the energy crisis, and community solutions.
