Subject | BioFuel Oasis deserves funds |
Comment | Hello members of the Board, I am one of the owners of the BioFuel Oasis. This 100K could make world of difference. Our project is strongly backed by professors at UC Berkeley's Energy and Resource Group and the Mayor of Berkeley, Tom Bates. After 2 years of looking we have secured a new location in Berkeley - an old gas station at 1441 Ashby @ Sacramento and will be moving there in the fall. This funding will allow our new location to be more accessible and convenient with hours from 7 a.m to midnight. BioFuel Oasis has a successful record of supplying biodiesel for over 3 years and is the only place to buy biodiesel at a public pump in the Bay Area. The new location will make biodiesel much more accessible, not only to the Bay Area, but to travelers on the busy I-80 corridor. We are a small, locally-owned and women-owned business with the money staying in the state and local community. We strive to get biodiesel made as locally as possible from recycled vegetable oil. For the past year, all the biodiesel we've sold has been made in California from recycled vegetable oil. The use of biodiesel translates into lower carbon dioxide/greenhouse gas emissions and lower particulates, which means cleaner air and less global warming. Please note the outpouring of support on our behalf. Best, Melissa Hardy Worker/Owner BioFuel Oasis |
