Date: October 17, 2008 | Category: Featured, Lifestyle, Media, Transport

Have you ever tried to explain to your friends and family the complexity of our historic relationship with fossil fuels, its effect on health, our wars, and our leaders? Did you then try to explain all the benefits of bio-fuel and renewable energy sources? How do we deal with bio-fuel’s relationship with recent food cost crisis and rainforest deforestation?

Take a deep breath - - - Bio diesel activist and filmmaker Josh Tickell has done all the initial work for us, now we can spread the word with his powerful documentary film: FUEL

Initially titled ‘Fields of Fuel’, the film won the Audience Award for Best Sundance Documentary 08. EcoFabulous attended the green carpet premiere last night in Los Angeles. Celebrities and green notables like Paul Hawken were all in attendance and gave Josh his 12th standing ovation. FUEL is incredibly comprehensive, intimate and fun. Josh takes us on a personal life journey that we can all relate to: His mother’s illness, the family relationship with oil pollution in their community, oil related sicknesses such as cancer and reproductive problems, September 11th, the war in Iraq, our nation’s relationship with fuel down the line of several key presidents and the history of bio-fuel. Thankfully he also addresses some of the exciting possibilities for new bio-fuels made of algae and bio-waste!

It’s inspiring, educational and entertaining to say the least – and it’s delivered in a way that’s easy for everyone to understand. With our financial institutions crumbling and elections coming up, FUEL offers critical solutions our safety. This really is a must see right away, so have a marvelous weekend and see if a little Fuel fits in to your busy schedule.
