Pro Tip 1/3Eco-friendly Substitute
Biodiesel is considered environmentally better than regular diesel as it's made from renewable resources.
Many cities are promoting biodiesel buses to combat pollution.
Pro Tip 2/3Energy Source

American Politician
The growth in ethanol and biodiesel is something that I have worked on since I was secretary of agriculture in Kansas. I would like to see a lot more progress, because I think there is a real score to be made on this.

Daryl Hannah
American Actress
The biodiesel we use is 100 percent, it has no petroleum in it. It was already used in fryers throughout our local area. It's already had one life and now it's going to be used again, which is nice.
