Bragging Rights for My Undergrad

"What Texas A&M is Doing to Make Sustainability an Aggie Tradition"


Under Transportation, page 2:

"All Texas A&M buses use biodiesel, a clean burning alternative fuel."

Under Dining Services, page 2:

"Dining services has implemented a Bio-Diesel program which consists of recycling used cooking oil from the department's facilities and refining it into Bio-Diesel fuels which is then used to power the department's delivery truck."

Note: Biodiesel made from cooking oil, is processed on campus and also supplies the buses which ride around with a green leaf, biodiesel logo on the back and smell like "fried" when the bus hits the pedal going past you. Just figured I'd make that addition.

Thought some people might think this is cool.

Maybe it was one of the many many places using the cooking oil on campus and I was just imagining it coming from the bus because I was hungry. Who knows. Still cool though.
