Composting is Gaining Acceptance Compost Programs are Steadily Increasing
Across the Country. Biodiesel and Compost are Necessary for
Sustainability and Waste Reduction
Reducing Disposal Costs and Landfill Rates Reducing Air Pollution and Asthma Rates Empowering Local Energy Infrastructure Reducing Fossil Carbon Use Combating Soil Loss Combating Soil Depletion and Nutrient Loss Creating Meaningful Jobs Mimicking Natural Processes
Biodiesel is a Local, Renewable, Biodegradable, Lubricating, Energy-dense Fuel for Buses, Trucks, Trains, Planes, Construction Equipment, Farming Machinery, Marine Engines, Electricity Production, Heating Oil Applications, etc. with a Strong Growing Demand Worldwide
