due to Rudolph Diesels' birthday being March 19th. Here's what's

Aphrodesia
Why are a squad of lefty activists visiting fast-food restaurants from
here to NYC? They're trying to persuade slackers to vote. Thirteen
musicians in two Mission District rock bands, Aphrodesia and Rock Me
Pony, are taking their veggie powered "Vote- Mobile'' on a
cross-country tour through swing states.

Fat of the Land
From New York to San Francisco, five women careen across the nation
stopping at greasy spoons, asking for leftover frying oil to fuel
their vehicle. Through interviews and chance encounters, the video
sardonically critiques the stranglehold petroleum has on our economy
while investigating one fuel for the future - vegetable oil! (40 min)

Trailer: Fields of Fuel
Joshua Tickell's feature length film unveils a curtain of deception
covering America's dependence on foreign oil as it explores biodiesel
as one possible solution to the coming energy crisis.
The Veggie Van Voyage
Follow Joshua on a journey from Florida to San Francisco. (12min)

Introduction to: End of Suburbia
What does Oil Peak mean for North America? As energy prices skyrocket
in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the
collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the
slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and
collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia?

French Fries to Go

passion for biodiesel. (14min)
