  Info item for Biomass enthusiasts, especially those interested in education about biomass energy,
 
 I hope that some of you will attend this free webinar, even if not a teacher.   Bioenergy instruction in high schools should include our favorite topics of biomass cookstoves and biochar, but those topics are often not even mentioned regarding bioenergy.   
 
 I have included the entire edition of Biomass Week (free digital publication) so you can see other topics that might interest some.   Consider subscribing.
