Update #7: A HUGE THANKS!

Posted on July 2, 2010

A HUGE thank you to all our pledgers and supporters!!! We did not reach our goal, but our FUEL team still got down to New Orleans to help create change and support solutions to the oil spill crisis. With no funds, we managed to accomplish a FREE screening of FUEL in NOLA, a think tank with politicians, oil experts, and NGOs, and a peaceful march for clean energy in Jackson Square hosted by Peter Fonda, Amy Smart, and Jason Mraz.

We did all we could without the Kickstarter funds, and we thank you for your support nevertheless! A BIG BIG change is underway not just for New Orleans, but for our entire American community who envisions a bright, clean, green future!

      The one thing I would change is simple allow the folks who want to use bio-remediation to use it already!

      I would change NASCAR rules to only allow zero emission vehicles. Can I change two things? I would also switch out all petrol based engine lubricants with biodegradable, sustainable ones.
