Some recent Studies suggest that most biofuels actually cause more greenhouse gases when you take into account the the emissions generated to produce these biofuels. In the US, it’s really the giant agricultural companies pushing corn based ethanol and soy based biodiesel. There are really inefficient options and the only reason they’re even considered is the huge subsidies for corn and soy. The subsidies for these products are also help make unhealthy food so cheap and driving the obesity epidemic in the US.

Biofuels–Maybe Not So Good
Thursday, February 21st, 2008Just over 3 years
Saturday, February 16th, 2008Denali Fitness had its 3rd Anniversary Party last month at Marianna’s by the Market. It was a fantastic party and I think everyone had a great time–although I wasn’t feeling so great the next morning.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 3 years. I’m now entering unchartered territory for myself as I’ve never worked anywhere longer than 3 years. Interbay has now been open 9 months and there’s still a lot to do. As we grow, it takes more than 2x the effort to try to maintain consistency between the two locations. I think I’m working more than ever and it’s starting to catch up to me. I find myself snapping at people a little more, I’m definitely running on a shorter fuse these days. If I could just catch up on all my tasks, I’d feel so much better…
