Piedmont Biofuels - Carbon Cycle Jigsaw PuzzleWelcome to the movement! This snappy jigsaw puzzle is much easier to solve than world hunger, but more challenging than a blender batch from virgin oil. At 504 pieces, it is an interesting challenge that seasoned puzzle solvers will enjoy. Trust us. We've worked on this one for while now. The artwork is by Phil Blank. It's made in Minnesota by Portrait Puzzles from recycled cardboard, and comes in a sturdy tin. Inside the cover is some verbiage which reads: Welcome to the Movement Grassroots biodiesel is a puzzle. Some folks are meeting their fuel needs with little more than some used vegetable oil, some methanol from the racing shop, some lye from the drain cleaning section of their local grocery store, a fifty-five gallon drum and a canoe paddle. Others are teaching classes and workshops on how to "homebrew" high quality fuel. Some people are setting up "filling stations" to make biodiesel available to the public. Others are forming co-operatives to get fuel produced. Giant agricultural interests are racing into biodiesel, chasing after government incentives and increased profits from global commodity markets. It's all happening now. There are lobbyists and researchers and trade associations popping up all over the land-and there are now lots of biodiesel bills in play in legislatures across the country.. Some come to biodiesel in the name of sustainability. It's a cleaner burning fuel made from renewable sources. Some come in the name of air quality. Others come to biodiesel so they can be "off the petroleum grid." Some like it because there is no war required is get the stuff. Some like it because it is made in America. Some come to biodiesel because it can be made from a waste stream. Whatever draws you to biodiesel, we are glad you are here. This puzzle is the creation of Piedmont Biofuels. We are a project that has traveled from the backyard to the corporate boardroom-with a lot of help along the way. The artwork was done by Phil Blank, with creative and logistics input from Rachel Burton, Lyle Estill, and Leif Forer, our founders. Proceeds from the sale of this puzzle go to support the work of the Piedmont Biofuels Cooperative, where we are simply trying to make enough fuel to power our community. Check us out sometime. We are at www.biofuels.coop. We are selling these for 35.00 each (plus tax), and as usual, our plan is for this to take off so that we can all be fabulously rich. We are pretty sure you will like this one. How else can you take your obsession with biodiesel on vacation with the family?
