Lindsay Hassett

After nearly 5 years of driving on biodiesel and veggie oil, educating all ages about the benefits of using Biodiesel Lindsay aka Betty Biodiesel has finally found her biodiesel dream job. She is the Marketing Director & Business Development for Blue Sky Biofuels. Blue Sky is the first commercial Biodiesel facility in the Bay Area. Located in Oakland Blue Sky has the capacity to process both waste oil and virgin feedstock into 20 million gallons of Biodiesel per year.  She will also be further developing her non-profit, The Betty Biodiesel Organization and the biofuels 4 schools project this year.    She is pictured here with Dennis Kucinich at the 2004 Harmony Festival in Northern California where her character Betty Biodiesel engages thousands of attendees in supporting the man behind the much needed Peace Department of the US government. She helped co found the SoCo Biodiesel Co-op and the Veggie Oil Co-op, two alternative fuels co-ops based on vegetable oil.  After living on 300 acres in Sonoma County in her sustainably converted 40' tour bus, she now lives in Berkeley to be closer to her dream job, aerial dancing, and bay area connections. To learn more about Betty Biodiesel, Blue Sky Biofuels, aerial dancing or to contact her go to www.bettybiodiesel.org Lindsay was in Cohort B and one of the nine graduates of the Green MBA program in April 2003.

What people are saying about the GreenMBA

"Learning how to "breakdown" a project has been a fabulous tool for me in business.  I am a Facilities/Project Manager by training and have to think "systemically" in my daily work day, however, getting fully engaged in a "project" for class and working on a "team" project takes you deeper into the process.  How to use systemics and critical thinking in determining whether a project is ready "for the street" or whether it needs to be drilled deeper to get the core of what will make it successful.  It's a study in chaos and systems planning.  I find myself thinking about who will be my next "test case" - or victim!!!"
