“The Berkeley Low-Carbon Feminist Collective BioDiesel Oasis” profiled, as co-op restores vintage service station

In California, “The Berkeley Low-Carbon Feminist Collective BioDiesel Oasis” is the title of an entertaining profile of Berkeley’s BioFuel Oasis, that has been running in a converted warehouse space in West Berkeley  since 2003.

The worker-owner co-op moved recently to a vintage 1933 service station which they have restored, adding trellises that come with solar panels installed to provide electricity.
