As the film&rsquo;s website, www.thefuelfilm.com says, &ldquo;Fuel is a vital, superbly assembled documentary that presents an insightful overview of America's troubled relationship with oil and how alternative and sustainable energies can reduce our country's -- and the world's -- addictive dependence on fossil fuels.&rdquo; <br><br> Winner of the 2008 Sundance Audience Award winning documentary film, Fuel is garnering a lot of praise and buzz. With glowing reviews from the L.A. Times, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and MTV Movies, just to name a few; and a recent appearance with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show; Josh is riding a wave of excitement about our energy future that his film insightfully explores. <br><br> In addition to being a filmmaker, Josh Tickell is also an activist and author.  His latest book is Biodiesel America &ndash; How To Achieve Energy Security, Free America From Middle- East Oil Dependence and Make Money Growing Fuel. The book offers a complete energy roadmap to wean the United States from fossil fuels.  Copies of the book will be available for signing at the event. <br><br> One of the Green Party&rsquo;s Ten Key Values is Ecological Wisdom.  Josh&rsquo;s new film Fuel demonstrates steps that we can take, through the way we use energy, to improve our environmental stewardship.  That's why we&rsquo;re pleased and honored to feature Josh Tickell as our speaker this March. <br><br> Please join us as we hear from Josh, watch a few clips from Fuel, and engage him in a lively Q &amp; A.  Josh will be introduced by his mom, Deborah Dupre, a lifelong human rights advocate.  <br><br> ***Refreshments and snacks are vegetarian potluck; please bring some with you, and bring a friend too! <br><br> <a href=\"http:\/\/losangelesgreens.org\/\">http:\/\/losangelesgreens.org\/<\/a> <br><br> ### <br><br>  <br>  <br> <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"losangeles@greens.org","link":"http:\/\/www.losangelesgreens.org","address":"","phone":"323-651-5539","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Josh Tickell, Director of &quot;FUEL,&quot; Sundance Audience Award winning documentary film, and a leading expert on sustainable biofuels, will speak at the Los Angeles Greens March 18, 2009 meeting.","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2009\/03\/225239.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
