  • Mississippi State University Marketing Program Report #2
    Mississippi State University Marketing Program Report #2 Name of Outreach Coordinator: Amanda McAlpin Phone number and email of Coordinator: 662-312-8672, [email protected] Dedicated Outreach Coordinator (Y/N): Y Date posted: March 7, 2008 I. Marketing Plan During this semester our marketing/outreach team has worked hard to build upon the solid marketing plan we submitted in October. In the plan we emphasized the need for more research on the perceptions and purchasing habits of individuals in our region, in regards to hybrid vehicles. While this research continues, we have discovered that instead of targeting only the 40 to 60 age range, as we had planned, it could be beneficial to expand the range. Our investigation of the research literature has indicated that 35-44 year olds with children are the most likely to buy a vehicle in the near future. Also, due to our location at a university we feel that we could effectively target college-age students. Another factor that suggests benefits from focusing on a younger age-range is that this group is more receptive to “eco” messages. Findings from our ongoing research will determine the extent to which we should target these two new demographics. We have, however, added a few new events that we feel will further support our strategy. The events were opportunities that we discovered, or extra ideas that we had after the Winter Workshop, and are summarized in the report below. We have had a great semester so far, and are excited about continuing all our marketing and outreach activities until the final competition in May.

  • 2003 Superconference
    WELCOME TO: Attendees FROM: Planning Committee DATE: August 7, 2003 On behalf of the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, the Air and Waste Management Association-Southwest Section, the Water Environment Association of Texas, the Texas Association of Environmental Professionals, the Auditing Roundtable, and the American Bar Association Section of Environment, Energy & Resources, welcome to the Fifteenth Annual Texas Environmental Superconference, in honor of Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday, “On the Road Again.” As you know, the conference is an annual event established to create a dialogue among the attendees, who are drawn from the public and private sector and from the legal and technical profes- sions. The conference provides excellent continental breakfasts, lunches and snacks, and plenty of breaks to encourage participants to discuss environmental issues informally, as well as gifts and quizzes and prizes. For Friday’s open mike session, note cards are provided for you to write your questions. Please place your written questions in the designated box at the registration table. You also may ask questions in person, should you prefer. As always, there are evaluation forms for the program. We appreciate your taking the time to complete them. The organizers of this program take into account these forms in planning next year’s conference. In addition, if you have an interest in having a particular topic presented, or in speaking on a particular topic, the evaluation form is the appropriate place to provide that information. Suggestions for themes for next year also are being solicited. Next year’s conference is scheduled for August 5 - 6, 2004.

The war on terror, the uncertain future of oil supplies and their subsequent price, international trade policy and trade imbal- ances, and the national budget deficit are only a few of the important issues policy-makers must address. All of these concerns arguably have an envi- ronmental impact, but it is in connection with agricultural price supports where that environmental impact is less obvious, even tangential. This impact is intertwined with other resource-use questions, but the pro- longed failure of price supports to achieve their suggested goals' should require American policy-makers to examine whether continuing price supports is worth the cost to taxpayers, to America's reputation

  • Biodiesel Backgrounderbiodiesel Backgrounder
    TM by the National Biodiesel Board National Biodiesel Board 800-841-5849 www.biodiesel.org Political and Public Support Increases Significantly. The bipartisan JOBS Bill, signed into law in the fall of 2004, contained a biodiesel tax incentive. It is an excise tax credit amounting to one penny per percentage point of agri-biodiesel (such as soy biodiesel), and half a penny for non-agri-biodiesel blended with petroleum diesel. This is meant to reduce the cost of biodiesel to the end consumer in both taxable and tax exempt markets. At the state level, dozens of states President Bush meets USB and ASA passed legislation favorable to biodiesel in recent years, ranging from Chairman at a Virginia biodiesel refinery tax exemptions to infrastructure incentives. Minnesota has enacted the first-ever statewide law requiring the states diesel fuel be comprised of two percent biodiesel in 2005. Robust incentives for using blends in Illinois have spurred a strong market there. OEM Acceptance Grows. DaimlerChrysler and John Deere have filled their new production diesel Liberties and most tractors and equipment with biodiesel blends at the factories, and are promoting B5s use. Volkswagen also came forward with its acceptance of B5. The use of B20 will not void the engine warranty of any major US diesel engine manufacturer, but NBB is actively working with industry on securing stronger position statements from Original Equipment Manufacturers. A major initiative is also underway to ensure 2007 clean-diesel engines are biodiesel certified. U.S. President Promotes Biodiesel. While promoting an energy bill for the U.S. Congress, President Bush frequently touted biodiesel as a promising fuel to help reduce our dependence on foreign oil and add value to farmers crops.
