THE COLUMBIA-WILLAMETTE CLEAN CITIES COALITION PRESENTS DOUG FINE AT
ALTERNATIVE FUEL WORKSHOP 

On January 28, 2010, the Columbia-Willamette Clean Cities Coalition
(CWCCC)is pleased to be hosting a workshop dedicated to alternative-fuel
and alternative-fuel vehicles. Doug Fine is an NPR contributor and author
of "Farewell, My Subaru" which made the Boston Globe Bestseller List in
September, 2009. The event also includes local, regional and national
Electric Vehicle updates, incentive information, manufacturer reports and
local awards as well as FREE admission to the Portland Auto Show and a
wonderful lunch. This is a great opportunity to see what is happening in
the alternative vehicles world and mingle with public and private sector
individuals who are working on advancing alternative-fuel choices.
Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for nonmembers. Visit
www.cwcleancities.org for more information or call 503-580-3806. 

Doug Fine has been featured by Jay Leno, CNN and others as he talks about
how a "regular guy" can make sustainable choices. He is passionately
sustainable, yet refuses to give up sub-woofers, Net-Flix and ice cream.
After traveling the world as a freelance journalist and writing for the
Washington Post, Salon, U.S. News and World Report, Sierra, Wired,
Outside, National Public Radio, and other venues from little-visited
jungle war zones, he recognized that he lived on "an actual planet" with
finite resources. He became compelled to change his lifestyle; he now
lives on a remote New Mexico farm with chickens and goats, drives a huge
pickup that is fueled by vegetable oil, and his wireless is solar
powered. 

The CWCCC workshop should be a good balance of levity and current events
and should be useful for both the general public and business people.
Seating is limited to 150 and tickets are going fast.
