buy a diesel car and convert it to run on used vegetable oil

Local middle-eastern restaurant: Ali Baba’s, fantastic food, actually! Am also gong to approach a local vegetarian chinese restaurant.

Love my car!!! Smells so good! Zero carbon footprint! essentially free fuel!

Got an SVO vehicle!!!

And I need to educate myself on what is involved in a carbon footprint. Sites on carbon footprints and low environmental impact say that SVO and plant sourced biofuels (as long as they’re not from deforested rain forests) is zero. but wouldn’t there be a footprint from the CO2 emissions? I’m confused. Still, it seems that SVO might be a good way to go to reduce my carbon footprint.

Next, becoming vegetarian…. I just recently read a review of a book and it said you can reduce your carbon footprint by 25% by not eating meat…. I guess I already knew that, just not the actual percentages.

I saw a lot of cars for sell that were in mid-conversion… so maybe it’s not so simple to do. It would cost about an extra $1k on top of the kit (another $1k) to get somebody else to do it.

Am still learning about it. I don’t even know if we have enough room in our apartment to do all the processing, filtering of the oil. (Maybe on our balcony?) Don’t think there are any places here that will do it for you. This is a groovy college town, but not that groovy, I guess.

I want to learn more about how much of a carbon footprint it has… I start thinking in circles….
