Comments on: Cutting food & gas costs in NOLA (and elsewhere) http://humidcity.com/2008/06/08/cutting-food-gas-costs-in-nola-and-elsewhere/ Handing New Orleanians a Megaphone Since 2005 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:02:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Gordon Soderberg http://humidcity.com/2008/06/08/cutting-food-gas-costs-in-nola-and-elsewhere/#comment-150749 Gordon Soderberg Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:56:04 +0000 http://humidcity.com/?p=1239#comment-150749 Well, here is the latest on Bio Liberty, LLC. We have been given a notice by the St Tammany parish code enforcement officer that states we are operating a commercial business on property zoned residential. After contacting the officials we have learned that although there are no State laws that prohibit making bio diesel they feel we are operating outside the law. We do not sell bio diesel. We use it to operate a lot clearing service for Lower Ninth Ward home owners. While we do make the fuel on the property in Slidell, LA. we do not conduct business there. Since my partner and owner of the property in subdividing the land and dose not want to have our bio diesel operation prevent the green construction projects we have planed for. We have decided to move our bio diesel plant to another location. So, we are looking for a place in New Orleans to make fuel for Bio Liberty, LLC. and to continue to clear lots for Lower Ninth Ward residents. If anyone has ideas about where we could relocate please let me know ASAP! One possible solution is to create and bio diesel coop where members can make their own fuel and at the same time help the lot clearing efforts Bio Liberty has been doing for over a year now. I don't look at this as a set back rather, as a opportunity to expand our services and reduce our costs of gathering used cooking oil from New Orleans restaurants and recycling it into green fuel for the rebuilding efforts. Peace, Out! Gordon Well, here is the latest on Bio Liberty, LLC.

I forgot to link up Vets for Peace when I originally made the post, so I've linked it up now. Folks, check out the Vets for Peace site (http://www.veteransforpeace.org/) and the Iraqi Veterans Against the War (http://ivaw.org/) when you've got a moment for some interesting insight into the realities our troops and veterans face and ways we can help support our troops... and bring them home. We spent many many hours working with members of both these groups, who have been amazingly supportive of NOLA and the Gulf Coast. Hey Gordon - Great to see you stopping by here!
