Biofuels

A week ago today, we learned about bio fuels from a very special person to John. The guy that came in was John's best man in his wedding and was the driver for the Veggiebus. The Veggiebus is a bus that toured all over the United States running on vegetable oil, from what I understand. The way they did is to go from restaurant to restaurant and ask if they can have their "oil waste" and use it for their "gasoline" for their bus. Treviit, talked a lot about biofuels and what renewable fuels we could use. For example, I learned that Ethonal, Fossil Fuels, Biodiesel, and Vegetable Oil can all be used for renewable source. What I thought was really interesting is that while they were doing the Veggiebus, they used the leftover oil that they used for cooking. In restaurants, they call this waste, but why would you want to waste something that you can reuse? While this was happening, the public started taking noticed that everyone and anyone can do it. You dont have to be a scientist to renew source. He left with a quote that I will never forget... "Nothing Should Be Waste"
