PGHIMC - Pittsburgh Independent Media Center

As petroleum costs rise, biofuels are becoming increasingly popular as asource of power, especially for automobiles.  And while industry is moving to exploit biofuels as another source of profit, an alternative grassroots movement is growing in Pittsburgh to utilize biofuel for more than just making money.  They see in biofuels an opportunity to strengthen communities, and help fix some problems in the city.

Rob Cullen and John Landis of Rustbelt TV took a look at the localgrassroots biofuel movement.  Their new video is called Plant Fueled:Grassroots Biofuel in Pittsburgh.

In this episode...

• anti-nuclear activists denounce military contractor Bechtel's local operations
• participants in the wheels of justice tour speak in Pittsburgh about their recent trips to Iraq and Palestine
  
• the student-farmworker alliance protests McDonald's in Oakland
• Tazers and Lies
• the struggle to rebuild New Orleans East
• taking back the media in Oaxaca
• and a preview of the upcoming film Slingshot Hip Hop
