If things look a little greener around here this April, there's a good reason. Our editorial staff is busy expanding the ideals of Earth Day into a month-long celebration of energy conservation, alternative transportation, recycling tips and about a million ways you can be a better friend to the planet. Welcome to Green Month, Milwaukee.

Last month I told you about what the relatively new Milwaukee Biodiesel Co-op was up to these days and how you could get involved if you wanted to.

The Co-op's recent Value Gathering at Bucketworks was a success, board member Jason Haas tells us. If you missed the last gathering, but have ideas for the betterment of the co-op, another one is scheduled for 12:30-4:30 p.m., Sunday, April 20 at Bucketworks, 1340 N. 6th St.

"While the co-op had some steep challenges, we are working with Bucketworks to rebuild the co-op. It's been a fantastic process, and by the end of it the co-op will be reborn with a home new set of goals and a new location. It probably will be at Bucketworks," he says.

The Milwaukee Biodiesel Co-op is currently located at Future Green, a self-sustaining, organic living retail store at 2352 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. Haas says there isn't a definite timeline yet for the new co-op location.
