Burnaby, BC Canada

I am a social entrepreneur involved in non-genetically engineered food and alternative energy. I have a degree in Communication for Simon Fraser University, and I am currently working towards a certificate in sustainable community development at that institution. I am the Founder of GE-Free Solutions (www.gefree.ca) and Current Coffee (www.currentcoffee.ca), and the Co-Founder of VO-Fuels (www.vofuels.ca). I am also involved in a number of grass roots organizations, including Vice Chair of the Vancouver Biodiesel Cooperative and Steering Committee Member of the Society for a GE-Free BC. I write a blog at www.undoge.org, and I am always interested in new ways to build a more sustainable world, so you can email me at nigel@gefree.ca
