Why should I care?
 | Most waste cooking oil is bought and sold on the global commodity market by large, multi-national corporations and shipped overseas for use in makeup production or livestock feed. The remainder is typically thrown into landfills, leaching into the soil and contaminating our water supply. |
 | By converting used cooking oil into biodiesel, we decrease America’s dependence on foreign oil. By sourcing locally, we keep these dollars in our region, building up the local economy. |
 | Biodiesel has 78% less CO2 than petroleum diesel, reducing the negative health impact on our families and children from tailpipe emissions from trucks, school buses and cars. |
