Join the
Energy Revolution
There are more than 12 million gallons of waste
vegetable oil (WVO) thrown out each year in the Houston area
alone. This waste product could make more than 10
million gallons of clean, domestic fuel.
This project is working with local bio diesel
manufacturers to create renewable fuel from used
cooking oil. Since this project has such unique
aspects, participating restaurants receive added value
in addition to a
free recycling service.
This added value includes:
A window decal to advertise participation
Direct advertisement at local festivals and
environmental events
Their name, map, contact info and Web address on the
Participants
page, and in the media as news outlets report on
renewable energy
The program has partnered with civic groups,
environmental organizations and restaurant
associations. As the YourGrease.com program grows, the
Houston area will set the model for producing
renewable fuel from recycled Waste Vegetable Oil
(WVO). If all American cities followed our lead, we
would reduce our reliance for on-road diesel by nearly
9 percent.
This is the first of many steps to cleaning up our air
and becoming free of foreign oil.
