The Australian Eco Trekker drew a curious and enthusiastic crowd at the June 26 Reception. The Compassion Flower Inn parking lot was filled with eco-mobiles representing an impressive range of clean technologies, along with their eco-aficionado owner's on-hand to give the techie-talk lowdown on each one. The Sentinel placement of the Eco Trek report the following day was page 2 under Local News. The "Wheels" section of the Sentinel on the same day featured the latest petroleum Jaguar (18 miles to a petroleum gallon). Eco Trekker will be back: Santa Cruz is now to be their last port of call in February 2004.
