This looks pretty great. I’ll try to remember to re-post next week:
Hi all,
The Green Grease Monkeys from Boston will be doing their second conversion demo on July 26 at Circle A Cycles, 523 Charles St, from 9-5. They’ll be converting a VW Jetta TDI, and the cost is $50 per person, half of which goes to Recycle A Bike.
I think they ask that we all bring something for a lunch potluck. We’ll provide the espresso. Folks can contact me for more info, or sign up with Patrick directly at
pkeaney@netway.com.
Also, not a bad place to mention that following from conversations in the Assembly this year (spurred by a bill I was working on with Newport Biodiesel) I recently received this note from URI’s lobbyist:
Anyway, in the course of discussion, the President’s Council on Sustainability at the University of Rhode Island offered a solution that is a win-win.
[Two members of our] Sustainability Council, are taking all the used cooking grease at URI and recycling it through a biodiesel reactor. When the biodiesel reactor is finished with the recycled fuel, it will be used by our vehicles.
