Celebrate the birthday of Rudolf Diesel and National Biodiesel Day!

(last year's event):

Where are people using Biodiesel?

Cool tool to map where people are using Biodesel!

The folks over at BiodieselNow forums have set up a BiodieselNow Frapper map which marks all the places people use Biodiesel. If you use Biodiesel, head on over and add yourself! You can add yourself without having to use any personal information. You can share as little as Zip Code, or more if you want!

More information.

Our mission:

To promote the use and benefits of biodiesel through awareness campaigns, educational programs, and specific initiatives.
