Alternate Fuel saves the planet.. via GREASECAR!

I was very happy today to see a report on the alternate fuel sources that we have available in the US... actually, this report focused on ONE type, in particular, which many of you have heard me go on, and ON about...
converting your car to run on VEGETABLE OIL!

I am almost finished with the lease on my car.. and my next purchase is definitely going to be as environmentally friendly as possible... either a vintage with a veggie engine, or a SMART.  loooovvve the Smart car!
Anyhow.. check this out:





Greasecar is based in East Hampton, Mass, and is a company that will send you the COMPLETE kit for changing your car OR truck over to Veggie!!




Yeah.  That's pretty cool, no?
But..what if I don't WANT to drive a little VW?  I have a big truck!! Whaaaa!!!!  (We have a big truck, too, and we love it!!)



Oh... WOW!  You can convert your TRUCK, too??

Um. This is pretty amazing.  This means that you can go to your local DINER and empty their grease trap and then drive around on the energy that it produces.

Check out their version of Easy Rider...
called..

Greasy Rider DVD

Picture a cross country road trip powered by vegetable oil in a 1981 Mercedes Benz. Greasy Rider follows two filmmakers, Joey Carey and J.J. Beck, as they meet with fellow Greasecar drivers, friends and critics. Traveling as far south as New Orleans and as far north as Seattle, the car is powered by used cooking grease collected at restaurants along the way.

Interviews include Morgan Freeman who is opening up a biodiesel plant in Mississippi. Political analyst Noam Chomsky, "You're supposed to believe we would have liberated Iraq even if its main product was pickles," appears alongside Yoko Ono, "This whole world is now ruled by corporations and their greed," and Tommy Chong, "You guys figured it out. You got your little bio-car, and there you go." Additional interviews include the founders of four vegetable oil conversion kit companies, Greasecar, Greasel,

Plant Drive

and Frybrid, as they discuss the viability of vegetable oil as fuel.

This is our life and we have to breathe the air... and it would be nice if our kids didn't have to run around wearing masks, and could enjoy life as much as you and I, no??!!! 

Jsut food for thought.. pass it on, share the info, and have a great day!!
