3/19: Sustainable Caravan to Permaculture Sites in East Oakland

(my comment: I don't think anything is really sustainable- biodiesel cars still need oil, bikes even need a bit of oil...bikes and cars are built with electricity and stuff that comes from oil...)
(one more comment: is the permaculture guild a group that actually exists, or is it just a name?)

The East Bay Permaculture Guild presents a

Sustainable Caravan
(bike · biodiesel · ride share)
to Permaculture Sites in East Oakland

Sunday March 19, 2006
Tour begins at 10 am and goes until 1 pm
Caravan from Fruitvale BART at 9:30 am

Please join us on a journey along the streets and watersheds of the East Oakland Hills, deep into the heart of the Dimond District and San Antonio neighborhood, to welcome the beginning of Spring. We will visit East Oakland gardens and parks featuring examples of urban farming, green and natural building, remediation and restoration, graywater systems, neighbor cooperation, and community activism. The caravan will consist of bikes, biodiesel, and ride sharing, demonstrating a range of sustainable transportation. The tour involves some slightly steep parts, but most of it will go downhill. Please bring your own bag lunch.

Please RSVP to isisferal@yahoo.com or at 1-800-MY-YAHOO (1-800-699-2466) (when prompted press # GARDEN TOUR (or say 427-336-8687)) to coordinate with the caravan, which will leave from the Fruitvale BART station. Let us know if you need a ride or can offer a ride, or if you’ll be coming by bike and if you want to meet us at the first site or get a lift uphill with your bike from BART.
