I have been experimenting with alternative liquid fuels for some time. I converted a step van to run on vegetable oil, and have been making my own biodiesel, collecting waste vegetable oil from five local restaurants.

But it's been a solitary affair. Now's the time to share! I plan to have an informal biodiesel filling station, where people can come fill up and leave a voluntary contribution.

On May 16th, I'm turning off...

  • My iPod. Those podcasts will just have to fend for themselves for a day.
  • Elevators and escalators. (My thighs will be as mighty oaks! My calves will be as powerful bulls! My ankles will be... sore, I'm guessing.)
  • Our Mac mini and TV. I can watch our (perfectly! legal!) Bittorrents another time.

I've pledged. Have you?

Time to slow down in Stanley Park. The tour buses are too noisy, too fast too dangerous. The motorbikes - same thing and motorists just too much in a hurry.

Just wondering if anyone saw the Quincy episode this week. It was a rerun of a show from the late 1970's or early 80's about an oil refinery that was producing excessive amounts of sulfer dioxide that was being released into the atmosphere. It proves how long people have had concerns about the earth's atmosphere and air pollution only they didn't call it Gobal Warming then.
